Hi Bev I new him when he worked for Comptons (I thnk) every time I met him his F12 had been delayed! I live near Burnham -on -Sea I used to have a yard the other side of the M5 about 1 mile from Sedgemoor services. I worked out of Yeomans from 1967 until about 1971.
I new Pip Duck quite well but not his brother, their names came up in conversation a time back but I can’t remember what they are doing.
I don’t know the Maggs driver you mentioned Paul was an O/D in my time at Yeomans and as I was running abroad virtually continuous from 1975 until 1996 I did not know too many locals unless they were doing tthe same work

Hi Bev I knew both of them but Dave the best ,haven’t seen them for years. I think Dave went to Saudi with Yeomans (see my recent post under Astran M/E). I think I may have seen him once after Yeomans packed it in down there.
Did you find any pics of Mike Keedwell?
Gavin
A bloke from Romsey
A bloke nicknamed “Teddy Bear” whos name escapes me (on the right), Armstrongs Road Train driver.
In the middle…Armstrongs driver? But cant remember his name, Doh!
Fergie47: I was referring to F7’s not being photographed much, not Armstrongs.
There was a driver, tall blonde guy, lived in Lordshill who drove an F7 for them too.
