Magic, Oily, pure magic!! I see that they were using wide canvas straps on the load to minimise damage to the paper.We used a few sets on the Bowater Scott tissue loads,they were OK up to a point but we switched to "bottle sheets" which we found ideal for all over load holding.Anyway those Guard Bridge shots show off the fine art of sheeting and roping at it's best.One thing the Scots lads could do is sheet and rope proper like ! We had a couple of ex Caledonian/McKinnon drivers at Bewick Transport and they were both masters of the art,as well as top flight drivers.Cheers Bewick.

Hi marcus22, I've had a look, but no luck sorry.

My old buddy Alan Long rang me today to say he has finally retired. He started continental late 69 early 70, first to Spain, then Italy, after that Greece and also the Middle East. At retirement he was still doing 2 Hollands a week, so after 40 odd years of continental and at 75 and a bit, I would say that's quite a record. We have a meet lined up for next spring, that is if he's not back on the road again.
Here's a couple of the many Volvos he has had.
