They had it hard that trip and it is good to look back at the photos and see how difficult the trip could be
colin, this is an old post but must show what you guys were up against. Go to bed and wake up to this? Classic.
come on guys, tales of trucking east please, dont let the thread slow down
fransen, kepstowe,gilder, rd, astran, rj, davies turner, russanglia, who was the daddy?
No one was.
was good job, and some good blokes done it.
Gilder and Russanglia are same
I think that Peter Gilder married a Russian lady,that must have assisted the running of Rusanglia.
Not realy Toby, he met/married her after Russanglia was set up, if I recall correctly

Was that Kari Puynonnen ? Somewhere I still have a letter written by him , explaining to the depot staff that I was British, and to allow me wander around at will. That was in 1991 or 1992 when I spent weeks stuck at the Valimar border. My one word of Finnish ? Kitos.
Kitos= thanks Probyble the only word i know to,and im from sweden…

Hi Dirty Dan
If i recall rightly the tobacco factory was Donskoi Tabac which was near the centre of rostov. I loaded filters from dumfries scotland to there twice and so did a few others working for frank white. You used to park over night on the main street outside the factory with an armed guard walking round the truck while you took a stroll down the town having a few pivo. Was a nice little summer run
