I didn’t know if I should have put this on the ‘Long Departed Southampton Haulers’ thread as well but your dad might recognise a few of these names.

Morning mushroomman,hope your well ,some of the photos are already on there ,unfortunately my dad passed away 17 years ago,a lot of the names mentioned were friends of his ,I met quite a few of them growing up ,when I used to go with him,I’ve read your stories on other forums,and they are great reading,

Unfortunately ainacs was Pat Duffy who was killed in an accident.

I’d heard he had passed away,he knew my dad ,I’d spoke with him a few times,a real gentleman

It was bad news, he was knocked over by a car after coming out of a pub in the New Forest, I had a serious accident abroad and he helped me out big time, a honest man who stuck to his word.
