David Armstrong tribute 27/4/59 – 17/4/22
Travelling about the countryside, meeting and interviewing truck enthusiasts is certainly one of the perks of this transport media game.
Like minded, genuine, men and women who share a passion for trucks and road transport in general, quite often become mates through shared interests.
David Armstrong was one of those blokes.
Sadly, while the Easter long weekend was being enjoyed by many, David passed away suddenly on Sunday April 17.
I met David in August 2021 at his home in Cootamundra to compile a feature for the September issue of this magazine.

David and his Katoomba blue R-200 International, which he restored with his son Craig (who passed away in 2015) were regulars at truck show and classic- truck, road run events, will be sorely missed by his fellow enthusiasts.
Sincere condolences to David’s wife Vicky and family at this difficult time, from myself and the OwnerDriver team.
