My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs

Very sad news indeed so soon after Henry but at 111 years of age I am sure he will not be shouting down from above complaining, RIP Harry Patch
