It was loaded onto convoys of HGVs and vans, and was then bound for Poland, for distribution to help needy people caught up in the situation in Ukraine.

1. Thanks for all your donations as more aid arrives at the army base
Deliveries of aid continue to be taken to various locations on the border between Poland and the Ukraine. This week a fifth trailer load delivered by Huthwaite's haulage firm Taylor's Transport arrived at an Army base in Boguchwala a little further south than Zamosc. Polish Straz (guards) are seen enthusiastically unloading the aid. A sixth trailer has since left the Huthwaite, fully loaded front to back, bottom to top on its way to Tarnow. The firm says "Yet again, thanks to all those who have helped us on this journey, we couldn’t have done this without the help of everyone." Photo: P Horton Photography/Taylors Transport
