I've used Kingston Shipping in Hull for many years, personal service, recommended, and close enough to you that you can drive down and shout at them.

Ask for Alan or Mark and tell them Gordon sent you ...

Chris,

Contact Patrick Tierssoone of ABN Transport and tell him I sent you. I know Patrick has (had) vehicles shipped from Australia to Europe, notably an LVT 4 for the For Freedom Museum, Belgium. Even though his company is specialised in the international movement of abnormal loads, he should be able to point you in the right direction at least.

Regards,
Hanno

Hi Chris

There is a group of us Aussies attending the 65th D-day activities this year and we are bringing our own vehicles via Turkey, Greece, Crete, Italy, Switzerland and into france. We are freighting 17 Vehicles to Istanbul. I'm not sure of the costings but it is not off the planet.
Do you have the truck or are you looking for one?

Hi Nigel

Thank you for your tip. I'm going to contact Lang. Unfortunately, Istanbul is in European terms (but not in Aussie ;-) quite far away from Switzerland...

what we need is a MLU clipper ship to move carriers and vehicles around for members of the forum

Hi Chris
Yep. you are right. i will look at a map next time I comment on distance in Europe. Its a problem we Aussies have. Once we get to the other side of the world ( about 22 hours flying) we assume everything is close at hand.

Sorry once again.

We are passing through your neck of the woods on our way to France. I wonder of we can call in for a cuppa?
i take it you know lang.

Nigel,

Never mind, it´s a problem other colonials have as well

A few (7, 8?) years ago Geoff W-B and I went to Beltring together. On this short day trip we went from Holland through Belgium and France, before crossing the channel to England. According to him, it takes the same amount of time to pass through a single Canadian province! Apart from that, he was appalled by the fact that as a EU citizen I could pass right though, while he, as a former colonial, was thoroughly scrutinised by a UK customs officer
