We broke down somewhere in the countryside in Wales during one of our 'all-nighter' roams. Ken, our vandriver was always taking us off somewhere after a booking. I remember we once went to Manchester and tried to get in a few night-clubs there, which were all mainly members-only affairs. Once we very nearly got thrown out as Jim, being a bit worse for drink, pinched the bottom of a female custoner and we all had to stand looking totally innocent while the 'management' strode among us to see if they could tell who did it! In the picture above, John and Ken are attempting to dry a wet spark plug which appeared to be the breakdown trouble then. If I recall, the only light we had was from matches and the flashgun from my camera!
