Just the one, Buzzer

Just heard this morning that Richard Benney has passed last week after an illness, it was in 1973 that I stayed at Tresprison Farm, Helston while on two weeks of HGV and after passing my test stayed living & driving out of Cornwall for a year before returning home to Hampshire. We met at a YFC club dinner dance up here in Romsey and have remained in contact all this time nearly 50 years, remember Richard as a fun loving character with many lock ins in the pubs back in the day and the spoofing which took place within, RIP my friend Buzzer.

Not many of the Old Cornish hauliers still going.

Uggy Newport of Penzance must be one of the last

One I found of Dennis Oates, Buzzer

From FB sadly ■■■■ Benney passed last month but son Robert is still active, Buzzer
