I love you guys. When you get your teeth into something you really go for it, as witnessed by the Rotinoff saga! Anyroadup Ed Burrows has again e-mailed me on the subject with this and says: "Brian, how could I possibly deprive the BLBlogeroo community of a scan of Rotinoff Viscount sales literature! The Vestey story is interesting too. To find out my you could always click on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestey_Group. No mention there of course of the Viscount livestock trains, but if your Mum bought beef from a Dewhurst Butchers' shop in the '60s, who knows, you might have eaten a pie made with stewing steak carried on the hoof half way across Oz by a Rotinoff Viscount. Ahh! Those pies of yours. Truckin' history in every bite! Best regards, Ed. PS: could you ask Pete Murray if he has high res scans of the two Viscount pics? I'd love 'em for my archives." What do you reckon Peter? Ed's e-mail is admin.uniquest@btconnect.com and perhaps you two could do some swapsees? Now click through here for more...
