Hi Peter,

Best regards George

It's difficult to see the middle of the picture Peter but I've had a stab at it.

If nobody gets it any better, I do have it in a bigger size.

I've given you a bit of a haircut Peter......I suppose only you know what it was like at the time.

Hello Peter ... Here  are a couple of versions for you .. I have had to "paint in some parts that were completely missing so that you may feel it isn't really a restoration in the true sense of the word .. Luckily the faces weren't too difficult to clean up so I hope the likeness is still true .. These versions are NOT big enough to print  ie they are only 3x4 cms in reality. I f you think you would want a copy of any to frame please pm me  asap  with your email addy and I will send them to you ,.. I have a couple of versions at 7x5 ..

To All

Many many tank you's for the effort put in
The likenesses are amazing
The fact that something has been salvaged from such a blacken photo is incredible


I have since taken a very good look at both th original I cleaned up and th copies on here - especially the quick lighten up done by Mudge - if you look very closely you will see I  am holding an Icecream cone with a ball of ice cream and a slice of wafer biscuit stuck into it

Would be nice to see this restored

Again many expressions of thanks go out to you all

Best regards
Peter
