Gosh John. Plenty of free reading there for the long winter evenings. What a good find. Thanks.

HA, HA.  That's my 400/4 in Japanese Classic. I've still got it  :D.  I was Interviewed by 'Ian Wilson' for the feature, that wasn't his real name, when he knocked at the front door I knew exactly who 'Ian Wilson' was but I was sworn to secrecy and can never reveal who he really is.  Ian, are you out there  8)

Yep, you are correct Oddjob, he was well known and working under an alias. I'll share the story why one day.
The 400/4 article was in the first edition of the magazine, the one with the RE5 story. I was in the VJMC at the time and club members received an early, thinner edition of the magazine and were asked to comment how it could be improved.  I commented and that's how I came to meet 'Ian'.
