I last saw this van at the Tall Ships rally in Newcastle in 2005. Sue and Frank also had a Royale, which I think was kept in France. Sue joined the Royale Club, and borrowed my file of ten years of club magazines, and read them from cover to cover. We looked forward to her and frank rallying with us, but sadly it was not to be.
If anyone sees Sue, say Hi from the Royales, please. |

| I'm learning as I go, thanks to you good people here, just how much style and panache this classic caravans have. And then quality of construction. Yet to join either the HCC or PCC. |

| I realise this is an old post, but Sue and Frank's Eccles did not go down South, it is in East Yorkshire, not far from where we live. |
