I had my first 'tour' in a Ferret Mk2 with Dave at the helm - through Sydney traffic. A memorable experience!

Interesting film. Thanks for putting it up.

Mike,
I remember Dave telling me about the meeting when I first met him in 1992. Dave had been on the 1984 MVCG Normandy Tour prior to going to Canada as I recall.

Hi Chris;
Just wanted to thank you for posting these video clips. I attended the seminar and remember it very well. These videos provide the icing on the cake by filling in so many of the lost details! I remember seeing a couple of the news clips (end of reel 5) at the time. Thanks for sharing!

I have been watching the videos with great interest. Even though I cannot make out 80% of what is being said it is still worth it.
Having said that, is there any prospect of the audio being improved?
