No, I never had the knack of winding it on properly. I have loads of photos over several years and all the same :cry:

I must have gone on an advanced photography course to get this snap of the Jet a year or two after the original pic, Paul. It is in focus for a start :P

I’ve been taking a disposable camera with me on the rallies for the last few years now to try and recreate shots like this.
This one was taken at Scarborough in 2017
