I think the Raft Support Vehicle was obviously the best one there too - no trailers for us! ;D

Course you can.

The originals are 10Mpx which translates on average to a 3.5 Meg jpeg file size for each photo... a bit too much to email.

I can put them on a CD & give when our paths next cross - or Royal Mail them if you PM me your address...
