Its a truck. We used to run Fodens in days gone by!!

I knew Foden was a lorry manufacturer. But a Shackleton is also an aeroplane - so I was just wondering.

The old mans got one and a half why?

[CATD8H]

Yes.apologies folks my original post looking back was indeed a bit short on detail!
A range of die cast models of the Foden FG flatbed/tipper produced in the late 40's to the early 1950's.

They seem to be well regarded nowadays and I wondered if anyone else on here had an interest.
