It remained at the museum as an outside exhibit for years and used as a trampoline by kids. It was in a sad and sorry state when Paul bought it. The whole truth was not told to him at the time he purchased it. Yes Gordon...yours is THE one Ron

I think "THE" one, was at one time, residing at The Hop Farm, Beltring, but not seen it for a few years.
