I'm afraid it very much was.... it's amazing what people will do for a piece of fruit cake.

The GN banana van looks great in the south bay.

The horsebox was painted to a spec. that was current at the time. We now know it was teak paint all round, not black ends.

Jonathan has said he will not touch it. It is what it is. Dan's GER horsebox is a nice kit, in comparison to the later diagram D&S NER examples. The roof on those is very tricky.

Great photos of the show.

Looking forward to a call on the 6th.

I should probably say, I think the roof on the GER horsebox is aluminium, not Dan Pinnock's usual plasticard.

No visible signs of warping, but I cannot remember exactly though. JW might be able to tell.
