We as a committee submitted over four bids to them and each one a fail. As a result of this I no longer &...

Both Simon Mitch and my Pandas belong to the Cardiff/South Wales police. I have a photo showing them outside Cardiff Cit Hall in 1968. I assumed that all 35 Pandas were painted in Blue & White but found out last Nov. at the NEC that 3 Pandas were painted a single color Burgundy. I was informed t...
