Looks like one of Archibolds heading over Tarsus. NMP
Think the Jackson daf was driven by the author of the “silk road and beyond book” Ivor Whittall,
Great book with plenty of pics of the daf.

Just out of interest does anyone still run overland to the middle east
Ah! Thank you Dean! I’ve had the first two pages of that Olin article for ages but I’ve never found the third one! Cheers. 
There used to be a chap that used to post regularly on here, i think it was Bestbooties ? and i seem to recall him saying a company had 3 Crusaders crash on one outward trip to the ME, looks like the same firm

Perhaps not: Olins Crusaders didn’t have red roofs; and they had IRAN / IRAQ on either side of the radiator grille. I think Ian Taylor took the pic you posted.
Fair comment, think it was Ian Taylor (Carmans) that took the pic. One pic of the Ollins Crusader has Reece on the signboard and its pulling a DOE trailer, like the one in the Ian Taylor pic.

I did not realise it had English dialogue.
Another one, this time those Dutch Leyland Marathons:

The second part is linked in the panel to the right of the film.

Fantastic! You’re a star! This quite made my evening. I uncorked a bottle of decent red diesel and settled down to watch what turned out to be a really classic Middle-East trucking film - up there with Destination Doha - so thank you.

Not in English. Think it’s Dutch.
Ditto! Yes, Dutch but too quiet to understand. Excellent filming. Italian made.
