My Dad won an instamatic camera at Hopton Holiday Camp back in the earty 70'sthe earl

Was only a nipper then but got the impression it was worth a few quid. He used it for years for family photos, until it broke.

Well, he though it broke and was going to throw it away but my younger brother asked if he could try and mend it. Dad said he could have it, camera was broken.

A couple of hours later it was fixed (my brother was quite handy with that type of thing) and he gained a camera.
