[Allan Lupton]

Apart from Q10 it's a closed book to me, and as you didn't nominate a year it wasn't just Pat Lindsay and Peter Waller - which is why I listed four drivers for each car.
You can add Tony Rolt and John Bolster for R5B and Brian Shawe-Taylor, Charles Brackenbury and Hector Dobbs for R9B AFAIK

[Alan Cox]

I think Q10 came under section 3 of Pete's questions headed "Section 3 Southern Crystal Palace 5TH Sept 1964", Allan, hence the answers given of Pat Lindsay and Peter Waller

By the position of your apostrophe you must be referring to a particular purveyor of fruit and veg; please could you name him and clear this matter up?

Also, when you said "It's", presumably you intended to say "It was"?
