Thanks, I've not really had time to trawl through my old BJP Almanacs yet, but that may be the exact model. Thornton Pickard also sold cameras made by others, there were close links because they supplied shutters.
However the front brass work is more unusual so it'll most likely be Houghton manufactured regardless.

Hi Ian
That looks like it's in great condition, and it's always nice to see a classic British camera.
Working on a project with my Wista 45vx and 110XL. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.
And here is mine!
Homebrew 8x10 in the Northern Alps (Austria - Europe)
Belongs to a friend of mine, actually(Jeremy, are you here?), but I do intend to purchase one for myself this next year...

Out for a walk today with my Speed Graphic and a 6" Darlot Petzval.
