Thanks Matt, maybe we can catch-up next weekend?
I understand that Pete has been 'on his back' literally? I hope he is recovering OK?

I will try and call tonight.

FOR ANYONE ARRIVING AT THIS POST THERE IS A POST THAT DEALS WITH THE BASE DETAILS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WENT ON - ABOUT 5 EMAILS BEFORE THE COMPLETED VEHICLE POST. THE BASE POST HAS MORE DETAIL SHOTS OF THE EQUIPMENT LYING AROUND ETC SO I RECOMMEND A LOOK AT THAT AS WELL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
