Steve, do you know the name Keith Crowley? If you
Google his name, perhaps you can find an email
address. He’s a professional photographer, has a cabin in Barnes, and wrote a biography of MacQuarrie about 20 years ago…he may have info. I know him but haven’t spoken for quite a few years…good guy, very enthralled with Gordon MacQuarrie…good luck in your endeavor!

According to Keith, Mac shot a Nitro Special 12. Fred’s 32inch double was a Parker very likely and used by his son as mentioned in another MacQuarrie story. I’ve been trying to track that Parker down. No luck so far.
