Class one license

22AD Regt RA
WE ( 22AD Regt RA ) went up to the Outer Hebrides for firing camp where we stayed at Benbecula aerodrome. We had a small detatchment of TA with us and one of these was a long distance lorry driver whose name escapes me now. (I'm going back 26 years or so here) Anyway this guy had all kinds of HGV licenses. One day he was told to move an MK lorry, ( weighing about 4 ton as you no doubt are aware) As he was climbing in to the cab, a Major Vasey stopped him and asked if he had a license to move this particular vehicle to which he replied, " Yes I've got a class one license sir" On being told this the officer informed him" that he needed a class 3 to drive this lorry and to get out." How this guy kept a straight face I'll never know.
