    Hi, I just checked the Nunney Castle website and there wasn't any news on the current status of her. May someone update us?

    Mike1522 - Best bet would be looking at her Facebook page which was updated the other night with two more pictures showing the main frame and progress on her being re-wheeled with the new driving wheels

    I have many fingers crossed on her successful completion and running in as I took the gamble on booking on the Devonian. Wish all involved with her the best and hope all goes well.
