I think I took this a few weeks before the closure of the Glass Works in 91/92. Phil (Radford - Redford? )is sat on the fork lift, John Cunniffe stood alongside. Both hid...I mean worked...in the warehouse at closure.

Flying Phil sadly passed away now. What a tremendous bloke he was. Would give the shirt of his back. Used to hear him on his bike ten mins before he arrived at the vic.
