Excellent, thanks for that. When I told my brother-in-law earlier this year that I was going to build a Stratos replica he dug out some photos of the Chequered Flag Stratos that he'd taken at that 1982 RallySprint at Esgair Dafydd in 1982 when an 18 year-old spotty-faced rally-mad youth. He loved the Stratos too and had toyed with the idea of building one but had too many other projects on the go, not least a young family. He gave me the photos to keep. I wasn't sure why, I'd have been just as happy with scans. That's what I'd have done if the situation had been reversed, give scanned copies and keep the originals for myself. Little more than a week later, just two weeks after his 50th birthday, he dropped dead. It was totally out of the blue, he'd have been last in the line of candidates to drop dead from a heart attack given the usual risk factors. Funny he gave me those photos.
