You are most welcome. Merely good timing for the season. I was cleaning digitized old VHS tapes from my home server, and figured I would upload/post it. Especially in light of all the other great videos that have been posted recently.

I really loved the old BOC series. Before the Open 60s etc. When Harry Mitchell was lost in the 94-'95 race, I was sadder than I would have expected for a gentleman I unfortunately never had the pleasure to meet.

Sad yes. But what a way to go. Wonder if he had Viking DNA.

Nice tribute to Harry at the end of the film.

Followed that race very closely. Mom and Dad went to Charlestown for the start. Dad helped Alan (Newcastle Australia) wire all his electronics and radios before the start.

Ah, good idea. That should work, or something similar should work; I have a Samsung phone and Samsung TV. I don't have my google chromecast thing, don't know where it is.

Update: Smart View works! Thanks.
