RIP Chris HoooperGS OVERLAND, Has anyone done more trips on the Middle East run in your opinion ? He was doing it for years.
Hi DeanB
I doubt it, not round trips anyway, the only other contender is Barry Barnes.
Or Dave Poulton

Safe last journey big man, R.I.P. CHRIS HOOPER.
Good article on Chris Hooper in Classic Truck Mag’ October, written by female reporter who went on trip with him. Bit does confuse me, maybe GS can answer it? Article was written 18 years ago, in it she says Chris H was doing trip as a seller, RHD Scania 113, to get funds to buy his next truck as his lovely old Transcon’ needed replacing, & he is pulling his own trailer CAT 69 with his designs etc on the back doors, but his fridge/tool box/fuel tanks etc had all been removed from the trailer? He was having the Scania measured for a Camel Bar ready for collection on his next trip, so he must have already bought or was getting his 143 that replaced the Transcon’, but he couldn’t have sold the trailer because it was pulled by his 143, so how did he get his trailer back from Saudi, & why had he removed everything only to put it all back on later? Immaterial to some I know, but it interests me as I was a big fan of Chris H articles etc & loved his choice of Wagons & the way he did them up! Regards Chris
