From Devon comes a plea which may strike a chord with anyone who was involved with Bulmers and a promotion involving the steam train, King George V, back in 1968.

Sylvia Boyles writes to me from South Molton on behalf of her brother who was in the RAF at Credenhill and a member of the band that played the fanfare when the train arrived.

Sylvia's brother, who is in remission from cancer, would love to have a picture of himself in uniform to pass on to his son.

Did any of you snappers out there fire off a picture which might fit the bill? If you can help, please drop me a line or write to Sylvia at 4 Mill View, Yeo Mill, West Anstey, South Molton, Devon EX36 3NU.
