    Finally I have the opportunity to contribute to the best thread on AOS!

    Watched the superb documentary on the Williams F1 team the other night (Saturday?). "Williams: Formula 1 In The Blood".

    Frank Dernie, a former F1 engineer, has some pretty bank account emptying kit on show.

    Not sure exactly what the speakers are, Avantgarde perhaps?? CD player looks swiss or even a bit REGA-ish . . .

    They were showing sneaky peaks of the kit out of focus during the interview, thought the speakers were just some wall art possibly but then he played some music on them.

    Been scrolling through iPlayer trying to find the clip on and off for 2 days!

    I'm pleased with my commitment here.

    Would love to know what the kit actually is if anyone knows?!

    Ping him a message on a forum - he’s member ‘f1eng’ on Wigwam, PFM and here, although I don’t think he’s visited here for a while.

    I’ve met him a few times at Scalford - he’s a very nice chap and I’m sure he’d be happy to tell you all about his system.

    Wow, thanks I might just do that.

    I got the impression from the interview he was a top chap even before I spied his kit!

    Nice one

    They're playing a Wings LP anyway so it doesn't matter (and that wasn't released till '78 so their date is wrong)
