If anyone is wondering about the copyright of these old pictures. The copyright for pictures taken before June 1957 only lasts for 50 years.
Thirty years before Asian Transport started going to the Middle-East; the Nairn brothers were experiencing customs check-point delays in the desert. This is a picture of the French/Syrian Customs at Khan Abu Al-Shamat; just up the road from the British/Iraqi Customs at Al Ramadi.

I take it the Foden, the AEC and the Commer were some of Australia’s famous artic buses. Nice pics. Robert
Here’s another pic of your Middle-East Volvo artic bus, showing a bit more background with minarets etc. Robert
Getting back to Nairns Marmon-Herringtons plying their desert routes, I’ve found a few more evocative images in cyberspace for you. Robert
Marmon-Herrington are still in business but now just make the axles and transfer boxes for all-wheel-drive vehicles and supply them to other truck makers.
Thanks, Chris, for a great thread.

Compliments for presenting us this attractive marque! Not only known for its trucks or fourwheeldrive,
also for cars and many other applications. On ebay.com several documents/leaflets can be found when
you visit the pages of walter miller or autolit.com
