I thought some members might be interested in this. Just scanning some old slides; my notes say that I am holding the rod that Richard Walker built for Maurice Ingham, the net that landed Clarissa, that the rack holds Richard Walker built rods for Maurice Ingham, Gerry Berth-Jones and Bernard Venables. And finally, that this was Bernard Venables' typewriter.

P.s I don’t suppose you remember seeing a 12’ Walker built cane for BB? :Wink:

What strikes me is the enormous distance between the rings of the MI rod that you are holding.
