It's amazing the progress every time I see photo's of it.
All being well I plan to pop down and see it for real over the next couple of months
Well done to all involved and it is a pleasure to have your stand at the Aln Valley

I think they need more money to finish the G5 first before they start looking at other projects! (a G6 is out - I jokingly suggested that one during my visit!)

Further news, they are now looking to sell their support coach (fully restored LMS BG) to raise money for the crank axle forging. Pass it on if you know of someone who might be interested.
