1920 stoker my father
« on: Tuesday 24 August 10 18:54 BST (UK) »
I have had a go at restoration but only the simple ones. This photograph of my father when he joined the navy in 1920 has just surfaced out of an old box and I have never seen it before today. It's a bit too much for me but you guys are real experts so I wondered if you could bring it back to life.

That's brilliant, I couldn't get anywhere near that quality. Thanks so much. That photograph has just blossomed with your rendition, it will mean so much to the family.
