who is also related to Catherine Zeta Jones who’s family part funded the operation, Regards Curly.

Hi all, nice shot of the Daf there Andrew with I am proud to be Welsh, so am I.
The blue Daf of Alan Price is Deri blue. I was told many years ago that shade was picked by Alan and was named as such.
Deri being their base and home not Bargoed. That Daf would of looked better with a black wing and mudguard.
Daibootsy, great photos and input, especially the Davies story. Thanks.
Regards Paul.
