Working party report from Colin:

Today was a success, all three ladder extensions have been removed and stored under cover. It turned out that several things like pawls had to be removed but we got there!I can now confidently say that everything that needs removing is now off the appliance and we can get on with cleaning and reassembling.

The next item I am trying to locate is a high pressure steam cleaner to clean off the chassis properly so we can get a coat of paint on it.

There are 2 rounds on the first extension that need replacing, I think there might be a firm in Newmarket that can help, I will be contacting them as soon as I can.
