I missed that when looking through the thread.

Don't worry Stuart...it gets very difficult with these long running threads to remember what has been posted before and if you scan through the whole thread that can take quite a while, by which time you lose the will....
I only remembered because the photo were taken by a friend of mine and I thought you might like to see others from the same meeting at Brands.

You got it. That was at the GP I went to with some of the other apprentices from work. It was the first time I used a 35 mm camera which was my dads pint & shoot hence they were all blurry though I did get one of Fittapaldi in a JPS Lotus which was reasonable.
