Hi Paul!
Is there any possibility that you might post your 1974 Lisbon pics? All my holidays since 1987 have been in Lisbon. I have watched the system die slowly, and it would be wonderful to see it at its finest.

PS Do you know anybody who took shots in Glasgow (my home town) during the 1940s or 1950s -- especially colour views?
Thanks, Chas
