She's really looking nice. :) Sad though about the pic of the woman painting the spinners. That spinner is probably blocking a lovely plumber's crack/builder's bum view. ;)

I've stood in front of her while she's wound all 4 growlers up and they do sound a treat. Nothing like hearing one in the air though.. something I've not heard for many a year now.

Latest from their Facebook page is just that, & yes they are budgeting for a re-spar. So when one avro bird retires another older one takes its place...nice

(Happy Christmas to all)
