Hi John,

Hope you and The Boss are well,John Smith used to drive one of the drawbars and run to Yugoslavia every week with it. I’ve seen photos of an accident when John was on holiday another driver was in it and lost control down a bank and landed on either the M2 or M20 across all the carriageways.

Regards
Richard

Bob (Ali)(Quick Draw) McGraw drove one of those. I can`t say whether or not it was that particular one.

Some of the ones I have. Reiner was the pilot of the bent one!

Romsey’s Greatbridge Rd Railway Bridge has always been popular with some drivers.

The driver was probably far too busy on his Smartphone, rather than concentrating on driving the lorry properly.
