Pic and article courtesy of DEREK ALLAN of Forfar. I spoke to him a few years ago about his days on the M/E run.
Seems he had this Crusader from new and ran for around 5/6 years mainly doing Iraq. Enjoy the story…

I presume the muslims took offence at the name ‘Crusader’. Interesting story - I wonder if today’s drivers would be so helpful to Derek?
