Tony Vekins
October, 2002

First New Car! Photo: Tony Vekins On the left is Bob Kellam, Vehicle Mechanic.

In the center is Brian Callow, a Vehicle Mechanic and ex-boy via Chepstow, who bought Mick Toogood's Mercedes.
There was a story that Brian once rebuilt a generator but forgot to remove the rags he had stuffed down the oilways to prevent muck and dirt from getting in there.
It rattled like a can of nails when it was started up, but ran fine after the rags were removed. Nobody noticed.

On the right is Ian 'Tex' Bradley, Armourer, retired from REME as a S/Sgt and now lives in Folkestone. Actually, Ian says it isn't him but three others say it is.

The guys are leaning on Tony's pale blue Fiat, his first ever new car. I believe the third car behind them is WOI Easterbrook's Vauxhall Victor.
