Simon,
The Swagman DVD's are quite good.
In late 79, I did an Xmas trip with Bill DeDear, starting in Kathmandu and finishing in Delhi 3 weeks later. Rolf was on layover so he came along for the ride as did Turbo Tom. Tom was waiting for his coach to be repaired in India after he had tried to widen the Bolan Pass in Pakistan. Why he had it repaired in India, I can't remember. Once he had the coach fixed, I guess he must have done a Kathmandu - Karachi sector with Chop and then travelled onto Greece in an empty coach.
Re Kavalla, as I said, I met Bill there but don't remember any busted up coaches. It's hard to recall ALL that happened 30 odd years ago.
