Hiya flysheet…did keith do middle east with the DAF or just local work (greece) LOL i saw him a few times on the road but never spoke to him.
have you any photos when she was newer.
John
I only knew Keith whilst doing Greece he always used to go overland down to there. I dunno what he’d done previously sorry. I’m sort of remembering that he had a heart attack getting off the ferry in Zeebrugge & thats how the motor got shagged. Its a long time ago but thats come into my scorched brain.
Hi Lads
Here is a shot of the Headley DAF looking a little smarter than in the previous shots. I took this on Heywood industrial estate, i think this is where it was based. Two of Chris Bennetts working motors to wet your appetites.
Here is my old daf 2800. For me its still the best truck I’ve ever driven. Am looking to buy one if anyone has one to sell? Would prefer a 3300 or 3600 thou.
