GLYN EILLEDGE, THAT (THEN) RECENTLY RETIRED MUCH-TRAVELLED EX HODGITE SENT IN THE FOLLOWING IMAGES LAST MAY, SO APOLOGIES TO HIM FOR THE UNACCEPTABLE DELAY IN PRINTING. WE DONT GET TOO MANY ENTRIES FROM THE UNSUNG HEROES OF THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, SO IT IS GOOD TO HAVE THESE MEMORIES TO LOOK OVER.

The shots are of the same "day out", although Glyn has not advised where or when, but perhaps someone else could please !!

Names of those appearing are following each image, and introduced with Glyn`s own words…..

"Just a couple of photos showing some Parts people. Notice how Parts people had to multi-task even in those days. One day we were Parts Managers, then on the next day we were Marketing Managers.

Obviously, we only got one pay rate !!" SAM_1444
