Gerry Keating, ex-schoolteacher, worked for Bob Carter, Trans UK, and when that folded did two trips for F J Archer, one to Iraq, one to Kuwait, both mid-winter, both short of cash. Turbo in the Scania ‘went’ - one week in Istanbul waiting for new turbo from Sweden. Reefer broke down in Germany on Kuwait trip, engine froze in Turkey on return from Kuwait, 3 days to repair. Two trips too many.
