Seconded...I dont know the gentleman but from his track record on here I feel he should know we're rooting for him.
We need his expertise on neglected places such as Lucker troughs

'Thirded'. I wouldn't claim to know him that well but he has been supportive of the autocar project and I know he's helped others with modelling and historical knowledge.

Latest update on 52D, he is shortly going into a rehab facility.
He has been up walking a little with the aid of nurses by his side,
his speech has not yet returned and is still communicating by nodding.

Pleased to hear that 52D is making some progress.
