Amazing, Richard I didn,t know the existance of the first pic as it shows my neighbour who served with Pathfinder Flight at Bedford and was in the UK in 94 and passed away not long after, the rest we know involves your very sharp eye and knowledge of CMP,s. Memories! . thanks.

Thanks Bob,

Just to let everyone in on this. Bob brought two Chev Blitzs to the UK in 1994 to take part in the MVT tour of Normandy. The first photo also shows Dave Mottram's Studebaker which he also brought over. As a consequence of talking to Dave later that year at Beltring, I took part in the Back To The Track event across Australia in 1995. This led on to attend the Corowa Swim-In in 1996, I travelled down with Dave Brown and Jan Thompson in the Land Rover. We had arranged to meet friends at Cowra and stop the night before travelling on. When we arrived in town there was a parade going on and when I saw the Blitz, I could not believe my eyes, it was Bob driving his Chev. We met up later as Bob shows in his photo, outside the local museum. It makes you realise what a small world this is.

Clearing out Mum's old house we found a school photo of me when I had hair.
