Other news (A few week late because I havn't had my computer) and more so that I've just found it. If you go to the Orcadian website www.orcadian.co.uk then click on Orcadian photos online (In the left hand column) scroll down 10 rows (At least that what there were when I looked) until you see the thumb sized photo with Royal Oak Remembrance, click it open and there are some good photos of our members and also a couple of very good ones 48 & 57of Dave with the Standard. Have a look quick though I don't know how long they stay on the site for.

Secondly the group of photos of Kirkwall Remebrance Sunday shows a number of photos of interest among others No 67 The RNA attachment and 69 Albert on his scooter.
