Hi Keith, I am very grateful to Jenny Trennelly, Grand daughter of the late Leonard Hooper of St Blazey to share these lovely images of Len's time with BR. They show Len aboard a NB built Warship class D869 at St Blazey.
The other shot shows a Western in disgrace having derailed at Burngullow. I dont have details yet, but I'm sure our friends on the Facebook Diesel Hydraulic group will have some facts.
Jenny has given permission for these pictures to be shared with obviously full copyright to her & her family. All the best for now Craig Many thanks Craig and also please pass on the Jenny and family.
