Re: TV prog. NOT Destination Doha

Ah, now you've said that I remember the Ralph Davis job being banking goods. I also recall references to 'Londre Camp' as a sort of staging post, and 'Marlborough Country' where the only way through red tape was to offer cigarettes. Wasn't the speeding ticket virtually free?

Re: TV prog. NOT Destination Doha

Well I don't think so anyway. This one was three, maybe four trucks. Can't remember where they were going but one went off on it's own towards Russia I think and rejoind later.

Re: New Holland 8070



depends if he is after the old 8070 from the 1980s, or the latest CX8070 from the past few years.....although they are both conventional combines but quite different in size and capacity

Armour-plated D6

This is an old photo I found while going through some albums, it must be late 70s or very early 80s and was taken at Slapton, South Devon.

CITB card ressurection

I found my old CITB operators card that expired on 30/06/99, had it from the old days when i was jobbing around.
