Any old promotor drivers around

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.
