I'm genuinely sorry to hear of the death of Mark Pedley. I only ‘knew’ him through your videos but he always seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke.

[@kenalexander8714]

Excellent video as usual and makes one realise just how much work is going on behind the scenes.

It's good to hear that "The Blue Austerity" is to become a really useful engine again!
