    it is very interesting an a remebering to 1965 year, as we as young and adventure drivers from Germany to Iraq with TV and Airport equipment to Bagdad Airport started and this adventure also finisched. Nobody believed our this action, but we did it! And that i can write this is that I am now 80 years old and have also photos from this adventure and more others, like trips to UDSSR and OULO in Finland....

      It was a differant time.. I remember asking a driver from Astans (who had a dépôt opposite to where I worked in Sevenoaks) whether they had a vaccancy to which he said no but he said that an outfit in East London were looking for drivers...and a week later I was on my way to Iran...
      That outfit (I've forgotten their name) subsequently got done for drugs offences !! Extra chassis members welded onto trailers in Afghanistan. God we were young and innocent...

    Absolutely tremendous. Truly Epic journeys. A lot of top hauliers of that time, much simpler times where drivers actually had time and respect for each other. Help was never far away. I only went as far as Istanbul, much respect to those who made many journeys.
    Class Hauliers, Class Trucks, A Special breed of driver.
    Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👌

    @ 16:28 This Polish license plate from the years 1956-1976 is self-made, thereupon it imitates the appearance of the French plates from the years 1960's-1992.

    What load would they carry out and then back? I find it hard to believe it was viable. I would imagine these guys were the elites of truck drivers. Well respected.

      Transporte Internationale Routier ( not sure if spelled right) Load was sealed off . The string you see Holding the tarp is a steelwire which could be plombded. Then you had a TIR-carnet which was a international costums document and the load was not checked at every border

    @ 16:23 Does anyone know what this Scania is? I see a sign saying 101 but in the English Wikipedia, the article about Scania AB does not mention such a model, and when typing Scania 101 in Google Images, an old nose truck appears in the search results.
