as ive said before due to my age i can only remember the lorries and familiar firms of this time, but these are fantastic pictures and I’m really enjoying the memories of being with my dad doing the London markets and early European stuff.

a few of the firms my dad worked for are…

Yardley’s
Myers comfortable beds
ugi
smith meters
portways
sanmar
devanneys
freightliner

Hi Andy, if you look at page one of the Scottish Middle East Haulers thread, M.and C. Jamie posted a great article about a couple of Frank White’s trucks going down to Jordan in the 70’s and it shows a picture of the German/ Austrian border near Salzburg.
I think that this is the border in the photo as I can remember that A1 Transport ( Leed’s ) did a bit of Austria and Yugoslavia in the early 80’s.
Hi Marcus, I have never seen that photo of the Blue Dart D.A.F. before so thanks for that .
I.I.R.C. the Hick’s D.A.F. B85 BTH was driven by Peter Wall, a.k.a. The Plater, maybe Jamie knows for sure.
Best regards Steve.

hmmm, found that steve, but difficult to know - most of their border crossings with other EEC countries looked a bit generic didn’t they, wheelnut seemed to think it was aachen, but he does make a lot of stuff up, bless him

mushroomman · 2 June 2009 12:13

Aachen Sud maybe, definately not Aachen Nord and I bet that Dave Devonport knows it.
Aachen Sud, wasn’t that near The Wally Stop where they used to serve half a bucket of mussels and chips every Tuesday night or was that at Lokeren tank wash, hopefully Wheelnut or Bestbooties will know .
Best regards Steve.

hiya,
tell you what you guys it must be great having all that continental and middle east knowledge the best i can do is tell you where the best sausage buttie could be bought in glasgow or where you could get the best fish and chips in nottingham and a multitude of shortcuts, ah well too late now, tell you what though this is a cracker of a thread and i just hope bubbs box is like pandora’s and is bottomless.
