    Yes, it is mono sound. My right earpiece is fine but the left is quiet.
    There is no rule which says you cannot be a member of both, they are not rivals at all!

    Terribly terribly sad.

    I’ve known Geoff from our days at Peak Rail in the 70s & 80s. A lovely chap and an extremely able mechanical engineer. He would have been a great asset to any new build project and he was totally invaluable in resurrecting Hengist and turning it into the thoroughly professional build we have the pleasure of seeing today.

    The fact that Geoff, like David Elliott with the P2, will be robbed of his finest hour, is so very unjust.

    Hengist will live on, thanks to the quality of the team he has helped to build and led so courageously of late and we owe it to Geoff to give the project our full support and ensure it becomes his lasting legacy.
