Nice to see it kept the name 'Findley' after the repaint. Very suitable considering where it is now.

Ughh, they didn't Freeman! You're usually spot-on, but the lad whose name is on XZ920 is 'Finlay' IIRC?
Anyway, another brilliant set of shots Kev'. Great to see some rewards from your efforts plus several 'right time/right place' ;) opportunities that actually worked-out well. :thumbs:
