Hallo Marcus,

Thanks for placing thoose photos on this threat about Frans Maas. :sunglasses: Good to see how you workt at that time on the end of the 80’s. The rental trailer from CTR was that from your Company of from Frans maas U.K. Did you also drive with Frans Maas trailers at that time? We change in that time always the trailers by Frans Maas Groningen. :laughing: Did yoy came to the main land of Europe of always in the U.K.?
