Not funny, Mr. Haywood 
I didnt have dealings with Dow - but did with RJ, loading some of their subcontractors. Although all were British registered, I know most were British drivers but was a little suspicious whether all were. I didnt have anything to do with Roger or John and they appeared a little aloof on the phone - but Richard was always good to talk to.
Astran did have an office in Holland so they also got work in Europe from them.

Welcome to the Middle East. !!
I used to meet up with several Swedes from Umika, Lindfors, Vebetrans, Combitrans and some others that pass me at the moment. We spent many days " not having today" in Turkey and other eastern European places.
Great guys.
I also spent several Mid-summer nights in Sweden, drinking Absolut Vodka and eating Sik (its a fish, not vomit).
I lost touch with all my Swedish buddies, maybe you can help me get back in touch with some ā āHi Dan
The guys that I knew well were Goran Ekblad , aka Magnum. He used to live in Helsingborg, I went to visit him a few times, we got on really well.
Then there was the red haired Christer from Hjo. He used to drive a red Transcon for a guy who had a powder coating factory in Hjo.
I cant remember the guys name but they were both great lads.
Then there was Dennis Holm. He lived in Lysekil, on the Nth West coast near the Norwegian Border.
I also remember a guy called āMoppyā He drove for Umika.Iām not sure where he lived and a guy called Stefan who also drove for Umika.
And of course there was āGlidarnā, Gunar Lager, also a driver for Umika. He lived in Goteborg.
It would be great if you were able to find any of these fellahs. Some of them will be well retired by now i would think.
Thanks
Gavin

One of John Abrahamās photos - do you recognise him Roger?
I know him its your Company director of (Ali Bin Moss Trans) a sheep herder from Kurdistan ,I met him twice good guy but didnt like the toothpaste I gave him so he never cleaned his teeth ,and he ate to much Garlic
Roger
Could also be Sami Cirici from Damascas not shure though
Roger
4 minutes 48 seconds in you can see our friend Sammi Siad Sirissi.
Ha haaa - I thought Roger was wrong on this (as well as with his spelling).
Hey ho Roger!
Hi Alison
Yes I never claimed to be good at the spelling like what u can do,the photo I have seen before but dont know where who is then ,the Sammi bit was all I could think of as I only met him Once when with T,Long ,and once again with John Dores when I loaded back to Damas ,what he looked like is a blank,hope your not taking offence about the Ali BIn Moss Trans it was to lighten things up a little ,You know I LOVE U REALY 
Roger

I love it when John uses Daveās watch and the Sun to sort out a route.
Did Frank marry Olive off āon the busesā
Now I know - he was a guy who washed the trucks - in Turkey - in a village where the road went through a tunnel under the cliff (I know I have a photo of that place but itāsā¦ somewhere else)
