I have just found this thread, only 4 years late!

I am amazed to see that I get a mention on page 6, I am one of the Ball brothers, Steve.

I see at one point someone had my Brother as deceased in 74 then it was corrected, I think it was Brian "gammy" Lewis who died then, I remember being really upset when I found out as I used to get on really well with him.

Some of the other names mentioned bring back great memories, Lance Shippey, he used to organise the coach trips, Martin Driver, yes he was very odd, was with him when he had an RTA near Ashbourne heading on a spotting trip to EMA!

Phil Lines, I went on many car trips with him, Mike Williams and the driver who's name escapes me, he used to hire a car and we would go off for the weekend, all over the country.

I also remember the deaf Huddersfield lad, again the name escapes me.

It was a great trip down memory lane reading this thread!
