Hi Richard,good pic of Pete Munger R.I.P. what a smashing bloke he was
and sadly missed. I worked with Pete for a short while on R & A when
Mr. Mc Ness was running the trucks. I drove Jim Streets old Super Space Cab
Daf while there.
I still see Tony Brady occassionally, he sometimes does a bit of work on our
trailers at J.T.S.
Here,s hoping that Terry Weekes makes a well recovery from his op.
WHOOPS

Did work for R & A though,what a great guv,nor.

Yes he was a great guy to work for.Although a few more shillings would not have been amiss!.Now his dad was different again.I knew him when he had had timber drags working out of Petersfield.Paid well.

Kev thanks for the info on Dual Carriage, I don’t know why but I thought Dave Wellman (RIP) had something to do with it.
