His version of the accident was quite interesting and might be worth repeating here at some point, subject to the families thoughts of course.
The above is from an old man's memory [although not as old as Fish] so corrections are welcome.

You just had to toss that dig in there didn't you Rich. Leftover bitterness from the ******** results??? :wink You're right about the current Wilmot driver being Steve and I made the change above.
