Just found this photo from early 80’s of Clive Turner (on the left) myself by the lifebelt and another driver (no not her) on board the Scandinavia homeward bound from Tartous in Syria to Koper in Yugoslavia. We had been at sea for a couple of days and were steaming up the Adriatic. Still had another day at sea though.
The deprivation of being a lorry driver just doesn’t show through in this picture but just try and imagine the hardship and boredom we were all suffering.
