Tremedous photos, Ruairidh, featuring our long terms friends John and Chris Gray and Graham and Pauline Hall as well as your family when the were rather younger than they are now. Graham was one of my very best friends and I miss him still. His number remains in my phone and I still can't come to delete it. That 'Corky' remains with John is as Graham wanted and it's good that it remains in such excellent hands. For some years we had a similar 1929 Chummy. Both being the same maroon, to the untrained eye they were the same although Graham's was the better one. One Sunday we were travelling together to lunch in Pocklington and that meant crossing through central York. At we stopped at some traffic light two young American girls came running up to us saying 'Hey, your cars are great, where did you hire them from?' When I was building my Ulster in 2013 he phoned one morning. Asking what I was up to, I replied that I was trying to find a way to hold a particular bolt in place whilst i fitted a nut but couldn't reach them both. Forty or so minutes later, Graham pulled onto my drive in his Mercedes and, on getting out, he simply said 'Do you want me to hold the bolt or the nut?' As I said, one of my very best friends.
