I was thinking why bother to take a photo when you can just Google it. 
Oddly enough, "bbc b keyboard" in Google image search comes up with this 
first:

Huh? I wasn't aware a Russian B+ was made! I wonder what MOS it was running.


Anyway, the picture below from chriswhy is not big, but it's enough to 
remind you where all those keys go!

Has anybody had any luck in getting an A310-series keyboard resurrected 
- it's the early manky tin-foil-on-foam-pad one.


Best wishes,

Rick.
