Whereas the poor guys on the Foden looked like they were having a steam bath, how did they ever manage to see out? When these engines worked for a living their crews must have been a hardy breed who were determined to get the job done. Nowadays the whole lot would probably be grounded during bad weather on health and safety grounds!

You can see fine out of the foden when it’s blowing off like that, as long as you’ve got the windscreen open.

It's a lovely engine, just the thing for autumn Road Run's. New to F.H. Richards in Leicester. There was some interest discussion about it previously on this thread.
