I was there for the photo - I don't know whose cameras were being used to take them, although I think perhaps Jan's was used at some point. But she is now blissfully on her honeymoon with her mind on things other than khaki for a change.

I did see a participant in the cherrypicker who probably had the necessary qualifications. Will see if he had a good group photo of the vehicles. We did forum photos for MLU and KVE. I spoke to Jan last night and it may be a week before photos are online.

It was a special week this year with a large number of new participants present. I was able to present the Life Member certificate to Alan Newton after the KVE meeting. Alan was co-founder of the event 37 years ago.

When I get home later this week I will transfer my photos to the laptop and post some up.

Great to meet old and new friends there.

best regards,
Richard
