Just found some pictures of ex Promotor driver George Fardell relaxing at home in Devon after Dave Stagg, our then transport manager, had found some excuse to sack him. I dropped in to see him soon after his dismissal sometime in I think 83 or 84. My mother-in-law and my wife are keeping George company whilst I took the photos. Never did show the photos to ‘Staggie’ as I knew I would get some caustic comment such as ‘he shouldn’t be let loose with a sack barrow let alone a lorry’.
The first photo looks like George at Spielfeld. No doubt got three drops round Yugo which was a common occurrence. It was rare to see George driving anything but his beloved Volvo, the only one the company had.
