Some scenes of Burford 1980

[Stuart Cyphus]

 It;s a dull wet Saturday afternoon & I'm tidying some older bubble photos, gained a couple of years ago when I cleared Rusty Holdsworth out of various bits & bobs. Herein, a trio of alsorted scenes from Burford 1980 to get some of you giggling.  

 First up, it's early in the day & a Trojan is grabbing the attention. Who's that with his back to us? Why its Big Al of all people. Apparently he's still got that anorak!



 Second up, a little later on & here we see the great man himself, Edwin Hammond, poking around a Dutch four-wheeled Heinkel...



 And finally, come the end of the day comes prize-giving. Much dodgy clothes on display & some even dodgier people! Not sure who it is winning what, but that's Tony Marshall's shoulder I believe that we're peering over. Meanwhile, over the recipticant's shoulder, the man hiding behind the beard is Andy Carter.    Quick, hide all the Peel's!

And also Russell Church, Peter Houghton and Mr Westerby the Isetta owner who helped me with info when I first got my Isetta in 1977, A real gent. I think another is Dave Thurtell or one of what became the HTOEC lot.

Yep 'tis I. Paul Thorpe's backside in his car and I suspect Rita and Mike Millward are next to me.
