The second pic is courtesy of Mike Taylor,his web site is well worth a look, mike-taylor-haulage.com ,as he had a tie-in with Astran at one point.

A brilliant site Keith. Thanks for stirring up some memories :smiley:

This was a regular job for me loading from the Westmin plant in Amsterdam, just before the Coen tunnel. I had my own truck at the time working for LV Shipping in Vlardingen through an agent in Hull

I did a couple of groupage trips for an old mate to Austria with one of Helmut Haids trailers, I still have nightmares about car mirrors and tennis balls :stuck_out_tongue:

The office looks very similar to the one where Mike Taylor had a very old German Shepherd dog, poor thing was blind and partially deaf iirc. There was a notice on the door warning you to knock very loudly or risk getting your leg bitten off :smiley:

Ones in coulor the other is Black and white :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: ooooh do i win
