Astran / Middle East Drivers

Peter Cannon - R.I.P.

For those not aware on this site, I’m sad to announce the passing of Peter Cannon earlier this month after a battle with cancer.

Peter was an early Astran driver from the late 1960’s and became Transport manager through the 1970’s/ 80’s until running a couple of trucks himself on European work. He will be remembered as a " Gentleman of the M/E World " and a long term friend of mine - I’ve many fond memories outside of work, particularly of times spent in the King’s Arms, Offham, Kent with Peter, Bob Paul, Tony Soameson and many others of the Astran club and more latterly reminiscing when visiting on my trips back to U.K. from Australia.

My condolences to his family and R.I.P. my friend on that last long trip.
