    From my visit in January, that was the status of the 1st of the 2 new boilers. so not much changed, its construction was being checked and signed off at various critical stages, by an independent engineer.
    No boiler has been delivered yet, as i would expect that to be all over the local news, they follow the build really well.
    If it does arrive, will let everyone know.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    And lets be honest, unless something untoward occurs with the boiler Tornado is carrying there is no massive rush other than the need for some publicity column inches.
    Wonder if they can get a UK boiler Inspector over there to look it over before it ships this time.!?
    Am i right in thinking that the superheater fitting will be done in the UK ? don't recall a superheater header being made as yet...

    Well if they’d got the cylinder block in then a boiler could come in useful. But as the whole project is now so far off course then there aren’t any current targets AFAIK?
