Any old promotor drivers around

OzzyHugh:
Sandway -

I saw this photo on another site and thought that, maybe, the mechanic on the left in a white shirt displaying such sartorial elegance might be you ?

Morning OzzyHugh. Sartorial elegance you say!! Well, not one to put myself down I have to admit its not me. At that time you would have found me at my scruffiest best as shown in the attached photo. I am on the left of course.

The picture you posted however is interesting. I always thought it was one of mine and so yesterday I went through my collection and although I have it on a stick I couldn’t find a hard copy. I was certainly there and I remember the lorry vividly. It had been brought to Baghdad by, I believe, Andy Maclean of Orient as Leyland were after a large contract which they won. The lorry was parked there temporarily whilst it was checked over before being moved as that space was part of the British Pavilion outside area as seen in the second photo.
