Hi Thomas, With your pointer and some serious thinking I finally managed to get it figured out. I've now got the IStream copied to a TOLEStream which enables me to work with it in Delphi. :)
For some reason copying that to a TMemoryStream and then loading it into a TJPEGImage produces an empty image even though I can see the streams contain the correct number of bytes in the debugger. But copying it to a TFileStream instead and then loading the file created into a TImage works. Which is ok since I want to save a cached copy anyway. Streams and COM are not my strong points but I've definitely learned a few things today. :D Thanks, Dave.
