> I know that Johnny Martin,Chris Beddow and Mike Pearce all got medals from the sultan when they were working driving Omani reg motors from Oman- UK-Oman with military supplies during the Oman\Yemen[Dohfar Campaign]in the mid 70’s. I knew these guys as they all came from Clacton[same as me] and i met them in Qatar in 1975.
I remember running through Saudi from Halat Amar (1975) with one of theirs (Oman Defence Force) Good motors V10 Maggies Deutz
Pulling desert spec trailers from the UK for changeover to desert spec units in Qatar before the road was built across the sand
He had a puncture on a trailer tyre which was a 4 King monster super single - we were young fit & strong then
No way I could attempt such a job now
