Did she ever materialise in Caernarfon?

Why don’t you hire a trailer for a weekend and go and get it. I shouldn’t imagine it weigh’s more than 1 1/2 tonne .

Hi folks.
Sorry I haven’t responded earlier. We have been finishing off a rebuild on a wood and fabric wondership (DR400) and I’ve just finished the first check-flight. Oh, she flies lovely.

I digress. No it isn’t here yet. The tales of woe regarding transportation would fill a book. Truck promissed – didn’t come. Disco failed MOT so couldn’t tow. No one out our way has a 7 1/2 tonner flatbed to hire. Second truck goes same way as the first. Disco gets MOT and then trailer expires. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH. Add false promises and work committments and it has been tragic so far.

Anybody got a 7 1/2 tonner flatbed that I could hire at a sensible rate? It is for a good cause (well, I think it is).
