oy Clementson drove the first truck off a Channel ferry and into the Single European Market when trade barriers fell on 1 January 1993. Now he's earned himself a footnote in the history books by leading the way through the Channel Tunnel at the wheel of the MAN 17.422 he pilots for Laser Transport of Hythe, Kent. With the 50th anniversary of Operation Overlord almost upon us it strikes me that Clementson had a more comfortable crossing than a large number of khaki-clad Bedford drivers had on 6 June
1944. Mind you, if the Chunnel had been in place in 1940 a large number of MANs, and their greyclad drivers, might have been coming the other way.
