After sharing a coffee and some interesting conversation [even their cat seemed to take to me!] we returned home (via an hour-long dogwalk on Dartmoor in the sleet..._).

How exciting! I've always been intrigued by these since reading how a supply of them was bought up by the RAF wholesale from a shop in Tottenham Court road and fitted, in short order to British bombers in WWII...

What a wonderful introduction to your set and I hope you have many happy hours and not too much frustration, bringing it back to life and use!
