Thanks to sammyopisite and servo88 for the pics

Slight change of tack and the Isle of Skye 1985, came upon this campervan in ditch, having been forced off road by oncoming coach which did not stop, just about to try a tow out with my own VW when round the corner comes this fully laden Leyland Scammell Constructor, pulls up driver jumps out, sorts a bit of rope out and “soon have you out 'o there” which duly happened. The guy in the middle with the Eric Morecambe specs was 50 then, fit as a butchers dog and twice as ugly

Who would the lad in the spec’s be then Oily?
