  2. 26D_M liked GWR4707's post in the thread GWSR General Discussion and Operations.

  9. 26D_M liked Raimondo's post in the thread V2 4771 Green Arrow to return?.

    I think it's in the queue behind 30777. Some initial work has been done to remove tubes etc (I think) but the focus is on getting 30777 up and running asap.
