Can anyone help me with a photo. Gordon Covell a Norfolk based owner driver retired in the late 90’s. Now approaching his 80th birthday he is still driving. I would like to be able to present him with a photo of one of his Volvos. Anyone who knew Gordon back in the day that would like to get in touch with him can message me direct. Many Thanks Rob.
Hello Rob, look no further mate. I took this many years ago at the Farm Cafe but it’s not one of my better ones as I only got half the trailer in. Also I like to get the number-plate in as it could give you a rough clue when when the picture was taken. Anyway I hope this helps.
I do remember Gordon when he was at Turners along with his brother Ray, I think Ray finished up at Ross Foods. Best Regards Haddy.
Indeed both my Uncle Gordon and father Ray both ran as owner drivers, my uncle pulling for NRT in Norwich and my father running a series of volvos until the early 90’s hauling containers for Machins and Ralph Morton
