welsh national opera.they ran a few transcon’s years ago.

Hello Pete359,l`opera Nazionale del paese di Galles, they had previously run Berliet (Renault)TR305s, a very nice outfit, some of my Italian clients visited them in Cardiff, and were present when Guy Caunegre “handed over” their new TR305s at the Festival Hall in London. Around 1980ish I think,Brian Mc Master was their chief man, and I remember one of my clients was able to get the autograph of Rita Hunter, who was also there. (if anyone is into Opera, they will know the significance of that autograph)!! What did we get? an order for ten TR356 V8s, into Turin, (a big order in Italian terms), and free seats at La Scala, heaven, oh heaven. Cheerio for now.

Andrew, I have never used an Ipad so know little of how they work but a quick search suggests something like this may be required…http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Image-Converter.aspx

My other Ipad tip for today is to NOT do as a friend working in Kuwait has done… leave it on car roof then drive off/over it.
