Book of Chris Yates Photographs?

[Barbulus]

Absolutely priceless ! Thank you for sharing that marvellous anecdote. I confess, I did often wonder whether it was a Guards Regiment or something else maybe even one of those photographs that have little black rectangles to obscure the actual face........

Brilliant Colonel, loved that.

Excellent! I would love to see the actual photo. I wonder what the book was...

Good job he caught the Bishop if that's the stamp of his work, they're rubbish.

Must admit they don't look like CY's work. There is another Chris Yates who is a professional photographer - http://www.chrisyatesphotography.co.uk/about.php - those Dick Francis photos might be his? Just a thought.

I have in my hand a rather delightful volume, ' Carp in Focus...a photographic compilation', ISBN 1 871700 04 3. This has a collection of the honourable Yates's images, in the section 'Redmire Impressions'. I'm not aware of any other examples purely of his photographic work though.

Lovely book Colonel - I have it in front of me too.... I love the Paul Gummer images.
GP the Dick Francis covers are "our" Yates. There's also (rather disconcertingly!) a Chris Yates who is a "civil aviation expert" who gets wheeled out by the Today Programme for comment every time there is a plane crash....

When our children were younger and we were looking for a party entertainer I found a clown called Chris Yates - I never called him but always wondered!

I was in the SAS division of the Boy Scouts, but never progressed further than that

Must have been an off day, or perhaps he had 'urgent business' at Bernithan Yes, I've heard the 'civil aviation' Yates on the radio - a bit disconcerting at first!

What a great recount Colonel - you painted a fragrant picture with your words
