Yeah thats the one Balders, GAZIOW was about 23 I think and Charlie1 was about 40 IIRC! LOLYes mate… I was 23 as well… 36 years ago and coming up to 60 now…Where did all those years go■■? we certainly lived though eh… were you a Ferry Boat or Rascasse man in them days?.. a name just sprung into my head… The Forge… on the road from Le Havre to Rouen… not Autoroute obviously…might have been La Forge… although thinking about it you were Autoroute boys then… Scorey P would get it in One…
Baldrick I remember “The Forge” well, or to give it it’s correct name “La Forche” as it sat in the fork at Yvetot on the N.13/N.29. Somewhere along the way it got mis-translated but it was known to us all as the forge. During my brief but educating career on Cabmont, we often met a customs agent by the name of Michel from C.A.T. at Rouen, at that very routier, where he would effect our on wheels clearance. Happy days!!
Mappo Sorry to hear of the passing of Bob Ollie. Over the years our paths crossed many times, mostly during his time with BKG. We shared many pleasant meals all over Europe - RIP Bob

the Karrier was a favorite with railway depots and they very often worked alongside other “mechanical horses”
sheffield goods depot
couldn’t find a locally based karrier but i do recall National Carriers having a depot over at Dutton Lane Eastleigh

Holy Cow! That 6x4 Karrier looked formidable. Sunvisor equipped…send it off to the Middle East…Mappo on board!
Those of you on FaceBook, there is a group OLDTIR, lots of fotos on there but didn’t see any local stuff to us.
