Geoff Luther just starting European work.
Alan Marsh one of my mates from the good old days on Phillips.
I never ran with any of Phillips lads as I was on heavy haulage at the time but I did have a few very good nights often on the “Dragon” or “Leopard” or Le Harve with a lad called Lennie he had a west country accent and will be around the 70 mark now 
cheers Johnnie

Always made me chuckle that,with a name like ■■■■ Turpin involved in transport eh,i think I once sold him a toptank and thought he was winding me up,cheers Buzzer.
