A very stylish, distinguished-looking gentleman, indeed. That sporran is beautiful! I really like the Churchill quote. That's a wonderful story, and it's so nice that you have the recording to listen to. Thanks for this post, Orionson.

Sounds like it was indeed quite an evening. Great pic.


(The pic's reversed btw - see the lettering on the wall behind him.)

Well spotted, John. I was shooting with a Yachica SLR 35mm onto slide film back in those days. I always felt that the clarity and colour reproduction of slide film for outdoor use was superior to print film. This shot is a print from the original slide and obviously reversed.

Cheers!
