'Aero' graphic designer
A surprise bonus from the visit to SSGB. I went back to the car to leave my coat, and found a guy crouched at the back taking close up photos. I asked if I could help, and he said he had designed the Aero 8 plate on the bootlid back in about 2000, when the graphic design company he worked for was asked by Charles Morgan to come up with some ideas.
So - this is Chas Thursfield!
He had never actually seen the results of his work before, so was very interested. I gathered he also designed the Roadster plate.
He no longer works for that company, but lives in Bristol, and finding us all parked in Brunel Square made his day.

By the way, Graham, thanks very much for bringing the bootbag yesterday. I'm investigating a high level brake light connection, and if I can do it as I did on the Roadster, I think one would work well.

You're welcome Rob. When folded up they take up little space I don't know how the Aero's boot seals &c are configured, so that may be worth checking before finally going down that route.
