It is with great sadness I have been informed of the death of Edgar Fowler, he was one of the first drivers at Axminster Transport to do continental work starting in 1975ish. He started work at Axminster in 1972 and worked there for 20 years or more. Edgar will be sadly missed by all his friends.

R.I.P my old friend Edgar

The lorry on the right is the one Edgar travelled Europe in.

Dear all,
I’m sorry to inform you that unfortunately my dad, Peter Baulch, passed away on Thursday 19th April.
His funeral will be held on Friday 4th May at Axminster Church at 11:30. You will all be very welcome.
My brother and I have enjoyed reading this thread and hearing stories about dad’s working life.
We have found a large number of photographs that I will pass onto Cliff at some point.
Best wishes
Lindsey and Simon Baulch
