Hello Roger, I hope you are well and I see you have been enjoying the sun,lovely up here too.
Fascinating pictures of the Memorial to Hannah Bennett,the times I would sit on the wall there and rest my back on it without taking any notice of the dedication.It was a great place to watch the trains,Western National ‘buses and keep an eye on the ships and yachts in the bay.
I attach my picture of the memorial, in the distance.That it is still there is good as 08840 in the Sea siding has gone,also the signals and the Heliport Photograph taken 19th June 1975.
Thanks and all the best, Michael.

Hi Keith,
I was over at Cogload again for my permitted daily exercise under the new regime, and by sheer coincidence 50007 and 50049
rolled past me taking HST power car 43086 to store at Long Marston, photos attached.
Hope you are all keeping well, Regards Bill Elston

50049 heads the 5Z50 09.00 Laira - Long Marston power car and stock move this time with power car 43086 and 50007 on the rear. With the country on lockdown as of today with the coronavirus pandemic I thought well as I am not supposed to leave the house unless it is essential I thought I would try a telephoto shot on maximum zoom from my bathroom window. Bit of contortion required to get into position on the window ledge but thankfully the sun was out and still in the east. Nice view of the South Hams landscape and the chimney of Cantrell Works further down the line.
Regards, Clive Smith

No apologies for repeating yesterdays picture of Clive's which includes his home - now we know exactly where you live, got it, good. Many thanks Clive.

Keith,
I went to Stoke Canon and was rewarded with the attached. Yes, a b........ Voyager right across in front of me. The 50's were the other side. Got a glimpse on me video footage.
Guess the moral is that when told to stay at home, one should!!
Keep well. Dave.

Well tried David, still it happens to the best occasionally. Our sympathies but one has to smile! Thanks for sending the picture in.
