    No doubt initially rejected for the excessive grinding of the charger bridge weld. Somebody was learning that day, and the action got put aside for future contingencies.

    Interesting that they put on the MkI foresight protector. No doubt another case of using up non-standard parts. Presumably they were all out of MkI cocking pieces by then.

    Thanks for sharing the photos and the story. What a pity we can't hear your dad now.

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
