We'd been working flat out for a year in The Persian Gulf; assembling a hundred lorries a day and towards the end two hundred.
Then we used to take the lorries in convoys up to Russia; one driver, two lorries. We'd put the lorries bumper to bumper, winch them up tight, chuck a couple of spare wheels on the back of that lorry and you'd drag the other all the way to Russia on your own.
When you got to Russia you used to take the front wheels off, put the spare ones on and take the other ones back with you. This went on and on, day after day, week after week, for about eighteen months.
