I don’t know much of the teknikanal stuff about them but do remember they were 335’s and looking at the photo again I would say it was taken in the Eric Vick yard, I recognised the dust bin and the pear trees in the background.
After falling out with ■■■■■■■ over a liner or follower problem that the fitter discovered but ■■■■■■■ didn’t admit to until years later EV’s moved over to Gardner power, not the best thing you’d think for repairs when running in Europe but:
- They rarely broke down
and - If they did we could usually get them to a bus/coach firm, which ran Gardner powered coaches, located somewhere in the Belgium Triangle near Willibroek if I remember rightly (but don’t quote me on that) The owner was a great Gardner fan and became good friends with Eric, we’d often have a box of bits to deliver there ‘on our way’.
It’s annoying me now because I cannot think of where it was let alone his name. More red wine and it’ll come to me.
