Short message ! Being collected tomorrow and heading to lincs on its first stage here. Some bits obtained and ready for start of a epic rebuild. I promise to keep you updated of progress. Will try to post pics up but am a bit electronically challenged.!!

Just a quick update managing to locate a few bits across the pond ! Will update later.

Best of luck Ben. I thought I'd a big job ahead of me!! Its worth persevering with. I've already tracked down a few bits for my Packard. By internet and thinking outside of the norm. From my experience with Dennis machinery in the past ( an f8 fire tender and a 1938 mower) there might be still a record of it in factory archives.

Paulbrook; wondering did you get my pm s.
