November 2022 Update - Part 1

Following our appeal for match funding earlier this year, we were happy to report that we had received enough to cover the platework for the cab, bunker and tanks. Unfortunate we did not raise enough to cover all the cost involved for the machining of the wheels. We did raise enough to cover the first half of the costs and work has now started as shown in the following images. In order for this work to be completed we still need to raise another £4,500.
