	Firstly, my apologies to all for the incorrect registration number subtitled in on the photograph I submitted above. I had not enrolled as a member when I posted it, and am consequently unable to change it. However, the correct number (VP-KRL) is included on the corrected YouTube video from which this still image was originally obtained. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlB-OPwsmzc Secondly, I have accredited the photograph with the name of my late grandfather, VF Whichello, and who shot the original 8mm cine film. I have, however, inherited all his film archives, and hence assume all rights to them.
