So currently sat waiting for a replacement mount from GD. 624 days to date so a couple more is neither here nor there I suppose.

Not a good day, but at least i didn't have to re-assemble the troops the lift the body off.
Oh, I bet the air was blue!!

Glad it was going well (up until the mount came loose), and as you say don't worry about the odd setback I was seven odd years getting on the road and I'm still not finished
