I am after a DVD copy of the “Destination Doha” film - I know there was someone on here was advitising copies but I never received a reply when tried to order one. Has anyone else got a copy to sell. I will pay postage and your costs.
The other film I am after goes back to the 70’s when I can remember watching the BBC2 Trade Test Transmissions and there was one film of a guy moving to Australia and working on the cattle road trains.
It was a film made by the BBC? about 3 trucks from Astran running to Doha back in the 80’s - excellent film and my mate has a video copy I want a DVD version.
Very nostalgic with Scania 111 & 141 and a Leyland Marathon.

Well worth watching if you can get a copy
That does sound good! I used to love the “Long Distance Diary” feature in Truck magazine, especially the long ones. IIRC there was a 4 or 5 parter that covered Whittle Internationals Seddon 400s going down to the Mid-East, and it was rivetting. Can imagine a film would be superb. Keep us informed if you find it!

Yep I will have a copy if you can do one - if you want to PM me with your address details and how much it post it back to me I will send you a cheque ASAP.
The Trade Test film i wanted is called “The Cattle Carters” and was made by BP and I am trying to get a copy from the BP Photo Library - I was put onto them by the BBC.

I currently have the equipment to convert VHS to DVD, thanks to my analog/digital encoder card. I’d offer to do the conversion, but, alas, we use a different format for VHS over on this side of the pond.
You can get a copy on VHS direct from Astran via their website as stated by Killsville.I got a copy from them and it was about £20.Ask for Margaret and she’ll sort you out.Thats if she still works there after being bought out recently?
Its well worth a look as its a great documentry
