Hello Peter.
Not yet, I’m afraid to say. We’re down to Plan ‘F’ at the moment. This entails a borrowed, four-wheel car trailer (mine isn’t ‘plated’ and therefore would have been illegal for this job) towed by my Land Rover once she comes out of MOT inspection.
My search for a locally based 7 1/2 tonner flatbed lorry failed. Boxed 7 1/2 tonners by the dozen, but not much good for this job.
While I’m on here, a big public thanks to:
Dave T who not only brought Mr Rusty to my attention, but physically assisted me, giving freely of his time, to take me to the present home of the Shack nose, and also tried to help organise the move. Many thanks Dave.
All of you who have sent me your best wishes in this matter. Much appreciated.
The museum manager at Caernarfon who is still holding a space for Mr Rusty to go on display.
I’ll let you all know how it goes.

p.s. The search for instrument panels and other fittings is progressing well. Good old eBay. I would post pictures, but, being thick, don’t know how. Help?
