My husband James had his records from that area knocked back by the Atlas,
and in conversation with Graeme Chapman, our neighbour, Graeme told exactly
the above story, and exhorted James to stick to his claim.

Graeme is in NQ on a photographic trip at present, but if anyone cares
enough about it, I can follow this up when he gets back.
