Middle-East Run Trucks Cemetery

I know this an old thread but I was wondering if any old hands on here have met a driver who was driving to the middle east from the late sixties , his name is Mervyn John I know he did m/e for at least ten years.

I meet up with Mervyn once or twice a year and he was on the Zenobia when it went down , one of the photos shows his scania still in chains.
