Middle East - Not Astran!

David Miller:
Nice one Robert.
It does us good to recall these hero’s. I remember seeing Atkeys, Big Js, Mandators, Fodens the whole lot. Whoever imagined that money could have been made using such crap?

People might even have thought the same about my Scammel Cruisader but they would have been well wrong. That was an excellent truck for the job.

Quite a few Crusaders did Middle-East, I believe. They had very strong (probably over-engineered!) chassis, Rolls Eagle 280s and Fuller transmission. I would have been happy to take one down. Will we see you at Gaydon in June, David? Robert
