So, I had a nice fireside chat with one of my "sources" shall we say.
Turns out the base construction folks thought there was a wrecker going on the pad out front of the museum, just nobody told them it was an ARV hence thier reply to my enquiry earlier.
The ARV has been sent out for a repaint and will be back to go onto the pad sometime before about the 11th of May so I am told.
The new colour will be much better, the painter did what he was told so dont shoot him. The markings that it comes back with will be wrong but they will be changed as soon as it is back to a better marking, there is some legal play at hand that has to be satisfied, so relax a bit.
I will try to get some images of the install but spring has spring and I have many days of field work to accomplish and swanning around toown wont happen much for a while.
More as I know it
