The Burton rally was in 2004 - and President was there - and then went on to Shackerstone via Haywood - on about 2nd Sept - but going south !. Return trip was via Birmingham and Fazeley. But earlier in 2004 - 8th July to be exact - President went through Gt Haywood - but there was no long queue - I was on board. in 2005 President didn't go that way. So not sure when that might have been. http://www.nb-president.org.uk/trips/triphistory/triphistory3.php But that does sound like Dave Stott - a photo of him in that pose here: http://www.nb-president.org.uk/engineering/engineering1.php -- Malcolm
