Anybody know anything about a black Volvo which I presume pulled out of Great Yarmouth depot, it had ‘Mule Train’ written on the headboard, and I can just make out the name R & A Pitt, or R & A Pill, or R & A Rill, can’t quite make out the surname??

It belonged to ■■■■ Poll from Norwich mate. He had a smallish fleet all very smart and, if I remember correctly, most of his motors were on for Brookes the meat people of Melton pulling fridges. The driver was Barry ■■? from Wymondham and “Mule Train” was his CB handle. I have a photo of it somewhere but can’t find it at the moment, it will turn up when I’m not looking for it probably and I will put it on here. The last I heard of ■■■■ he was living in Spain. Regards Haddy.
