Hi,I’m wondering if any of you out there have any photos of this,it was when the seamen working for P & O went on strike,I remember a truck magazine had a photo of this taken from the top of the cliffs overlooking the docks which showed my truck (Or most of) side on view.I was stuck there for nearly a week with many others,the ironic part was that when I woke up one morning I found a letter from Dover Docks threatening legal action unless I took my truck out of the docks which was impossible as we were all boxed in by other traffic trying to get in,anyone remember this?
I would be greatfull if anyone has any pics. or can tell me how to get hold of them.

Thanks,Mike Palmer (Aerotrucks)

I was in the front row at Dunquerque, waiting to get on a Sally Boat to Ramsgate when all hell broke loose and French Lorries pulled across the linkspans and shut the port down. Turned into a pretty decent ■■■■ up, but my tilt full of oranges weren’t in such good nick by the time I got to Paddock Wood :cry:
