Not so many in my shoe box, alas, but plenty in cyberspace for the patient and diligent browser! The Snowy pic came from an excellent German trucking site and the Londra cutting was on an obscure French one. I’ll keep 'em coming nonetheless! Cheers, Robert
I would add that it’s absolutely no use talking sense to me about Londra-Camp TIR-parking Istanbul, because my eyes mist over and I become excited about the atmosphere that pervaded that institution when we were concerned about the routes south and east… Crazy, I know. Look, here are some more pictures of that unique trucking caravanserai in the history of Middle-East overland trucking. Robert
Wow…it was ten years ago today that this thread was first started. A lot of water under the bridge since then and a lot of Middle East names have parked up for the last time in the years that this thread has been running. I hope there are still a few more stories to be told on here.
keep up the good work.
All the very best
Gentlemen, I am sad to advise that Ron Davies, late of MJ Swallow, Cadwalladers, Simon International, Ridgeway International and others died 20 September 2015 after a long illness at his home near Kanchanaburi, Thailand. He was just 68.
Don’t know if this has been covered before but I’ve seen a couple of photos on TopRun of a Merc 608 or similar, from Austria, heading out to the Middle East with ‘express parts’.
I was wondering how common it was to see lightweight vehicles heading out on this route and if so, what type of cargo would they be carrying?
Thanks.
This thread has gone a bit quiet! I’ve just noticed that Gordon Pearce’s death on 7th Nov last year has gone unrecorded here, and I think it deserves a mention on this thread: Gordon was, after all, one of Astran’s ‘Long Haul Pioneers’! There is a thread dedicated to his memory, and here is the link:
