Hello Alan,
Yes it is amazing how time passes. When you are 20, older guys tell you how it seemed only yesterday when certain things happened and you tended to dismiss or ignore their comments. We never thought we would get old!
Yes the G8 is 45 years old and I have attached a picture of the front of the 560 so that younger guys know what I am talking about. I was 28 years old when this G8 rolled off the production line at Philips factory, Commerce Way Croydon. John.
