    Good stuff again Burnsy ! Kipper Lynch lives just up the road. He always gives a wave when we go by. If I can find any photos that might interest you I'll scan them and pass them on to you.

    Thanks that would be really great, I just posted another Copes article in which there's a nice photo of Kipper!

    Best wishes
