Really great pictures Patrick. Some really interesting ones, even to my limited knowledge of your “convoy exceptional” world.

The blue truck on the right looks Russian; perhaps a Kraz?

A long overdue reply to Johhny Sutherland. Sorry mate I missed your post.
Simples; I lived there for 25 years and for some of that time worked as a driver.

Thanks David. That was sure a long stint. I’ve only been a mere 13 years in Germany.

Norwegian N88 in the snow…don’t ask… haven’t a clue what that’s all about,
Nice ones…again… ![]()
But this one here really tickles the mind…
And about those “oh bugger” moments…what on earth is a car transporter doing in the woods…? That’s surely not a matter of taking the wrong junction, is it… ![]()
Dave, in the tanker lying on its side photo I see he has the 5th wheel still attached to the pin .

Third truck on your first batch is a Rochet-Schneider. Bought by Berliet in 1952.

Nigel, and the rear axle of the tractor ripped off as well, might have been a double drive, still, one hell of an accident …

Two batches of excellent pictures! This Latil road rescue truck was based in Sancoins, 60 kms south from where I live. Every time I drove past it, I said to myself that I should definitely photograph it before it disappears. I never did, but obviously someone else did!Third truck on your first batch is a Rochet-Schneider. Bought by Berliet in 1952.
Nice info there Froggy, amazing how one photo can mean a lot and jog a memory to someone, isn’t it…
