I noticed a trio of Dominies at Kemble the other day, anyone know their fate?, I assume scrappage
P.S. Just had a read, I'm way behind the times and knew nothing of the Phenom till now, looks like a good replacement, but again private enterprise involved so us taxpayers will in the now established British tradition of making fat cats fatter, get shafted.
