The 2nd & 3rd pics are X-out.

They were OK before - don't know what has happened here... @SatNavSaysStraightOn - do you know?

It might be because I copied and pasted the pictures in rather than using the upload pictures button. - I have only recently discovered that I can do that!

I will repost the pictures next time I'm on the pc.
