3x gt grandmother in need of fixing
« on: Saturday 09 August 08 22:30 BST (UK) »
Hi all

i was just looking at all the wonderful restoring thats done here and was hoping you might be able to help with a picture i have,it was sent to me via email so im afraid im unsure what resolution was used.
its a photo of my 3x gt grandmother catherine.also could anyone tell my what year this would have been taken,id love to see a clearer image as she looks very similar to my grandmother.

best wishes pat
