Yes, the Maidenhead ones, very surprised at the price. Both in
physically good condition (I know what you mean Jesper about some of
the kit with history being in a mess !) but "Thumper" (ex-Howard

Well done in getting your 2nd one, and at a great price. I do
wonder how many of them are still in existence...
Fortunately I have a VERY understanding girlfriend...!!
