It is and that's me in the driver's position with my commander. It must have been taken at Beltring in 2000 I think.

Could you let me know the book title, author and ISBN so I can vainly buy it!!

Thanks
Nigel

Nigel,

I was filling in some idle time between work assignments, and I came across a shop selling pix of you and your Carrier.

If you are getting rich from this, I shall start flogging snaps of me ...

They'll only sell if your NOT wearing your fantastic winter carrier cap - you know the "blaze" one.

I will hunt around and see if there are any of these special hats around - generally considered a seasonal item, they usually collect dust on the shelves when it is near to 40 degrees C.

As could be expected, they only come in size 8 and bigger - is that big for a head?? I find that if my hat is too tight it slows down my thinkifying ... but I always wear it when I go and get another Carrier resto project

Never mind the hats Stew, you need two No.4s!
