Middle East in the 70's & 80's

Hi I just joined the Forum this morning , having found it on Google when looking for old pictures of Redcliffe Roadways.
Once I found this thread it bought back so many fond memories, I used to drive for Malc Watson from Mansfield for two years 1977/78 running for Redcliffe to the middle east.


This is Malc on the right.
Three of us traveling up to the Jordanian border with Saudi, this was before the new road was opened, H4 to Turaif , we had to travel over the desert for god knows how many miles with just oil drums for guidance and a fort half way across.

Sorry the pictures have faded but so have I !!! I have a few more pictures.
Someone mentioned Kit Kats , which Redcliffe driver never carried them at some time, here is a picture of some Philipino coolies unloading my trailer of Kit Kats into an air conditioned cellar in a private house in Kuwait.

I have so many memories of my journeys over there, I delivered to Saudi, Kuwait quite a few times and Doha in Qatar.
