ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember your dad with great affection. The reason I posted was that the author of "Shadows" told me that my picture was the only one in existance.
Its a great pity I could not unscrew the main entry door kick plate, otherwise I could have sent it to you as a souvenir, engraved was "Riley dove a Mc Alpine conversion".
But they idiot that fitted it did not use any grease, the screws were rusted solid................ with the Nigerian Soldiers approaching fast, all I could do was take a photo, and beat a quick retreat.
Later that day my wife and I were arrested outside a Nigerian Army Barracks for taking a picture of a Biafran "Minicon" that was their gate guardian.
A little negotiation with the CO and we were allowed to keep the film, thats why your Dads Dove picture still exists!
