Rear View Mirror

It's back to 1958 for our look in the rear view mirror this time round and what would indeed prove to be a landmark year. Most importantly the late John Mitchell would marry Catriona McGregor, who left her job as a nursing sister in Glasgow to help run the ever expanding haulage business.

This new partnership was very effective and soon afterwards John would purchase his first 'brand new' lorry, which would swell the fleet up to a total of four trucks! The model in question was a Thames Trader (shown in our picture) which was supplied by Millars of Falkirk and driven by Willie Meichan.

Elsewhere in that year; explorer Sir Edmund Hillary reached the South Pole, Manchester United lost 7 players among the 21 fatalities in the tragic Munich air crash, long distance telephone calls could now be dialled without the operator with the advent of 'trunk dialling', the country of Iraq was in the news even then with a military coup deposing the king and last but not least a young Julie Andrews starred as Eliza Doolittle in the newly arrived smash hit from Broadway; 'My Fair Lady.'.
