You guys are all so good, it amazes me that you can take a really poor quality photograph and make it better than when it was first printed. My heartfelt thanks, my sister is over the moon.

You're right, artists of the first calibre. I've just been round to see my sister who was a real daddies girl and she was almost in tears when I showed her the restores that you've all done. He's been gone over forty years now but the memories are still strong. He served twenty five years in the navy after that early picture of him was taken, including a few years on HMS Hood but he was transferred off just before she was sunk, but that's another story.
Thanks everybody
Brian and sister Vera.
