S54...I remember the accident with Brummy Northwood.He was driving a cent in a column of tanks and this VW beetle was overtaking the tanks when he came to a left turn which he wanted to use(remember we're in Germany) so he stopped suddenly to let an approaching car pass.Trouble was, he was only a few yds in front of Brummy and as you know tanks can't stop quickly when they're flat out and so Brummy rolled right over the VW and killed the dvr.Brummy couldn't see what the damage was and was ordered to stay in the tank dvrs seat.It really affected Brummy.Sad.

Cheers GT and Tex thanks for the list of names! IIRC Bill Bailey hailed from Plimuff I used to knock about with his lads (Glyn, Kevin and I think Trevor) in 'Falling-Bar-Stool' 65-67!
