Albion

Hi Billyboy, I remember the Albion's well. In the sixty's I used to drive a
six wheeler with an aluminium body. The doors of the cab were in front
of the wheels. We carried 6500 bricks reguler. No power steering.
Going around roundabouts and corners was hard work, you vertualy had
to stand to turn the wheel, the steering was so heavy, and with the
heavy clutch you were glad when it was time to finished. Arm's and leg's
ach.ing all over

Driving HGV's is like driving a car these day.
All the best.
Barney.
