Camera Thorpe was my first job in 'retail', I started as a junior HiFi salesman not long after they decided to give selling HiFi a go. As Craig would know, they sold middle to fairly high end cameras, although not quite in the league of the guys up the road. Still we did Leica, Nikon, Pentax, Hasselblad, Rollie, Mamiya, Durst etc. I was lucky to get to take a few medium format's home to play with, plus we did a roaring trade in PX stuff, so always had access to something worthwhile. My big regret was not keeping any of the Red spot Leicas we got in PX, worth a fortune now!

Ivan was my best man at my wedding in May 1973. Tony Myers and Mike came up from the London store to mange it. And I seem to remember your name Craig. I went from Lind Air to Nottingham Scientific Exchange, then to manage SuperFi in it's original incarnation, and it's them that ran the HiFi show at the Albany hotel in the late 70's. Vince Adams (sadly died since) went on to marry Sue who worked at Radio Trent. Shout if you want me to dust off the Grey cells and come up with more info. Mike Rogerson (now living in Oxford)

I used to work at LindAir with the guy you bought your Sinclair from, his name was Ivan, who was also my best man at our wedding!
