Anyone know anything about this company. If they really did go to Moscow and Afghanistan then

Hi Dean,
Yes this company realy did go to these places,
What I remeber of Smiths they did a lot of work for Davis Turner…Evan Cook…and many of the big company’s who did not venture to those parts…I think they are still in business today !

Thanks for confirming that Mark,thats intresting i bet the driver could tell some stories. I wonder if he
took a camera with him. :wink:

Heres an old Bedford.
