Like I just posted as reply in your blog:

"Best post ever! :D

I _knew_ that service was good for something. The stylish look of 
SDS-III and SDS-IV fits like hand in glove with the english countryside. 
The more industrial feel of SDS-V also fits the more industrial look of 
Alban Park."

The SDSV has been produced in the Mill. SDS6/7/8/Digital Claptrap were the first products that came from the new Alban Park facilities
