Bryan Miller should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
David.

Thank you .
BT30X-1 , noted.
BT30-2 , will allocate to Hickman/Pickering/ Woodise at the moment.
BT30-3. with Dick James /California 1992-3. Believe this will be the car ex. Australia/Ray Delaney, and I have CAMS application for this and car is called out as BT30-3, so will leave as that for the moment.
Strange that Westbury is connected with both BT30-2 and BT30-3 and also had a car that needed a rebuild after 1st. outing, scope for confusion / chassis plate swapping , whatever . More work needed .
BT30-4 , yes noted that the E.E use does not gell , and Ecurie Ecosse usual car is BT30-14.
Quite a lot of car renting went on between these guys in period , and Chris Townsend has alerted me to some , to go with others I found.
BT30-5 , Noted , I presumed that to be the case.
BT30-6, Noted , this was the call out from the Australian application to CAMS , and probably not fully accurate in regard to dates.
