Easy tiger… They were only confirmations of which magazine the article was in - not actual affirmations that the content was accurate.

…Never apologise for the ‘poor quality’ of a photo,
ANY image however dim, grainy, out of focus, dark, light or bits chopped off is a moment capured in time and the pictures that get posted on here are part of a time capsule we all cherish, and most of us wish we took more pics or had a better camera…hindsight eh!!
KEEP 'EM COMING
Cheers, Nick
Fully agree with Skandiahamn there Bill, I think a lot of my photos are crap but I’m sure when I learn to scan and put them on here they will be appreciated by plenty. Father Christmas brought me a new printer and I need a bit of tuition from my daughter and son- in- law.
By the way I really enjoyed meeting you last sunday, it was good to go over the old ( and better ) times. We will do it again before too long. Best regards, Haddy.
Definatly mate!
Hi LB 76,
I remember working on one of Wyatts LBS 76 drawbar outfits at B&W motors in Wolverhampton, I was amazed to see a banjo drive axle fitted to the draw bar with the diff removed and a blanking plate in its place, was this one you drove ? they always seemed to be well freighted to me !

I’d spotted the wipers on the middle one, I think it’s an H reg so older then the ones either side??

Jimmy McDonald had quite a serious accident with his F88. It was recabbed with the later version, if you look closely it gained electric wipers and a sun roof.

That explains it, as I remember it didn’t the post 73 cabs also have only one opening vent on the front where the earlier ones had 2■■
