Keithmac-we must know each other!

233 OCU

YES, it would be great to have her saved and put back in the colours shown on your photograph!! Glad to be of assistance.

Thanks Phantom Phil

Thanks for that info Phantom Phil, somewhere down the years I’d lost the note I took at the time. Just to cheer Mudmover, I enclose one of the photo’s I took at Wittering back in ’75, showing her in better condition than she was in the photo you posted.

That’s sad to see-had a few ‘interesting’ backseat rides in it when it was Red 12 on No 1f.
