Yes – June 1968 to be precise, collected by Bob Ogden and myself, a memorable journey with Bob’s Cortina MkII 1600E towing a trailer.

Bob’s poor, brand new, Cortina. I was in the front passenger seat when, towing the same trailer en route to Thetford to collect his BAC Drone, the car hit black ice and we all ended upside down in a ditch. Were you one of the three in the back Gordon?
That Cortina laid the foundation for many a modern day aircraft restoration – despite being wrecked it was rebuilt back to road-worthy (so the garage claimed) status. Bob didn’t keep it long after that.
