Ivan most of the work on this project has been done in the old brain box , early in the week i parted company with my old Trusty to make some undercover room for the crawley going to collect the old girl from under the apple tree down the plot in the morning, yesterday i collected a petter PC1 from Nottingham to power it so not much action but lots of planning,
