(Gerry Stones and Vince Bailey are on the right)

All the way from Broome Hall in a disabled person's car ?
("Yes" says Keith. "I saw him there in 1985 ! ")

" The AC tricycle (above) was called Bluebird, of course, and was familiar
at BW in our time . . . . Fr Marchant enjoyed the fact that it was made
by the same people as the expensive sports cars; . . . . "
