Not sure if I am coming yet. Have rung campervan again to say, ok, will someone be there tomorrow for a van pickup, instead of saturday. He said he does not know if he can get one ready & will ring me back, has not rung yet.

If i come, I could go to that camping place, Mike said, was at Lower Beeding & get a cable.

Thanks for the offer, Mac, but I am a bit stressed at the moment, & am on overload!

Fay is this the RDF  you're talking about -

Pulsar F'in Optical

If it is, that bent plate looks like it can be altered pretty easily, if need be, to make it fit the camera.

Yes, Mick, the shoe would have to have a bit chopped off, no big problem.
The point is, they sent only the screws first, then a different RDF, then insist it was the same as the site, cracks me up, then said they  had sent another one on monday & have not etc etc etc

In that case are you in London?
Sorry Mike, yes I was, but the camera wasn't...

I'm in this evening or I might be able to get it Mark.

Mike, as we are not renting a field exclusively for OAS, is there still a charge for day trippers?
