Gpa lauching or the first dip

[Little Jo]

Hi All

Today, (08/01/2012) our club, the Wartime Vehicles Conservation Group (WVCG) held a special event and I thought I would share with you all. Club member Richard Sanders who may be known to some of the MLU members, took his restored GPA to the River Torrens in the heart of Adelaide for it's inaugural launch into the river.

It was a wet and windy day, but despite the weather about 25 club members turned up to support Richard and share the joy of seeing the GPA go through it's cruise on the river. Everything went according to plan and the smile on Richards face told it all. Well done.

Richard spent 4 years fully restoring the GPA and I would not be wrong if I said it was now in better condition than the day it left the factory. The weather broke into sunshine long enough for all members and their wives to enjoy a BBQ lunch and a few beers.

Cheers

Tony
