    The late John Hughes: In the above collections there are numerous images taken by John. Although these are in my own collection and he is sadly no longer with us I would like to say thanks to John for his work and in using these images hope that they will be a monument to him, a lost long-time friend who will always be in my thoughts. John Shakespeare

    In my vast collection of colour slides there are many images which are the work of friends who I have known for many years. Over the coming weeks/months and possibly years a lot of these images will appear on this site. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to say a big thankyou to Alistair MacDonald, Eddie Simmons, Ian Moore, Simon Adamson, Simon Rowley and Stuart Brandrick for allowing me to use their work on Fire Engine Pics. Thanks guys its all very much appreciated. John Shakespeare.
