Just come across some original photos of a trip I was on in 79 or 80 courtesy of John Clark who was on his first trip to Doha and was following Jeff Stringfellow, an old experienced Middle East driver. We all met up in Volos where we waited a week for the ferry.
The first photo, taken as we neared Tartous harbour and which is completely new to me, shows myself on the left, Barry driving for Dayson’s on the right and John Clark in the centre.
The other photos were taken a week or two later in Saudi. I wasn’t there as I was heading for Baghdad and so would have turned off north of Damascus.
Its great to see these pictures appearing again after all these years. It just shows there is a wealth of material still out there waiting to be shown the light of day again.
