I was trained for my PSV out of Acton in 1986 by a guy called Al. Known by some as Big Al but he was neither tall or fat so …er 
I just cannot recall his second name but I do remember him telling me he’d been as far as Pakistan and a pair of stockings got you a woman for the night in Poland (funny what sticks in the mind). He’d been doing those sorts of runs for quite some time but jacked because of pressure from the wife. He had been working for LT for about 5 years I’m sure he said.
I know it’s next to nothing to go on but thought I would ask…
