Sure I remember the Bristol drivers, got stuck in Nice with a couple of them when French customs went on strike at Ventimilgia. One of the Bristol boys, I think his name was Dave, fell asleep on a lilo and suffered bad sunstroke. We ran together at least as far as Bulgi.
My name is Dave Blackledge and used to drive Cantrells FB 88 that was in black and yellow as it was originally a JC Gerrard vehicle, I was usually accompanied by Bill Sallis, a Liverpool boy, who drove Cantrells Scammell Crusader.Great days

Is there anybody on here who worked there in the 70.s who remembers the boys from Bristol. We were running the middle east with man trucks with tilts. Do you have any photos or good memories that you want to share.Cheers

This must be the customs compound at Kapicule?
Can anybody remember seeing a red London double decker bus in the compound at Kapic which was there for years and did anybody ever get their truck back once it went in there

Put a few of your pics on mate,I’ve seen them …they’re Grrrrrreat,to quote a famous tiger on a frosties box.

Cantrell’s raiders?oh yes I remember them well but unfortunately I have no pics.
There`s a trucknet member on here by the user name of truckyboy, he used to do middle east and has written of his fond memories of Cantrells!!! 
…two of their drivers in particular if I remember correctly!! 
Try sending him a PM…or maybe he might see this post and reply himself!!!

I wouldn’t mind rescuing a few of those classics now ! Shame that the Capri looked repainted, and not in the original Saluki bronze !
