One of the first DeLorean cars built in Belfast

The Irish Times reports:

Barrie Wills, a former purchasing executive at the failed DeLorean car plant in southwest Belfast, has issued an appeal for surviving employees of the company to come together for a 35th anniversary reunion next year.

…

“There are very few survivors from the company’s management left, and I’m sure it is the same for the shop floor staff, and we want to have this event before we all pop off,” said Mr Wills, who is now in his 70s.

Jim Fitzpatrick’s update of his iconic screen print poster based on Korda‘s image of Che Guevara.

Jim writes:

“Like many of my Jewish friends I am deeply shocked by the slaughter in the Gaza ghetto of so many innocents…I am posting this new CHE image in solidarity with the people of occupied Palestine.”
