I found this when going through some old boxes must have borrowed them some years ago when working for Axminster Transport.

The mystery is solved! That’s where all the ashtrays went off the Karageorgis boats.

Cliffie, I should have known

This was Axminster Transport at its best in European Transport, all Volvos all had Axminster Transport on the headboard, before the merging with Chard Transport and later the emergence of cats. Great company.

Our thoughts go out to all the families and friends who lost loved one’s on the ferry disaster 30 years ago. Any one of us could have been on that crossing.R.I.P.

Well said Cliff. It could indeed have been any of us.

Heading for Ventimeilia many years ago not the clearest picture.

Somewhere in Brittany before the trailers were painted.late 70s

Looks a bit lost on the front of the fridge trailer,must have been a lot easier on the fridge motor being able to get all that cool air . The cabs today are the same height as the trailers no air intake at all.
