Good news shes inside Matt and hopefully drying out a bit. Doubtless the shed is providing excellent protection for the crew from those biting winds that seem to appear from nowhere at Bruntingthorpe.

I hope that all the '494 team have a great Christmas and a properous new year and I look forward to seeing the fruits of your labours in the summer, hopefully under power up if not moving :wink:

I am also lead to believe that there are moves afoot to fit the old girl with some period weaponry sometime in the not to distant future
