Here is our progress report for February 2023. 

The mailing of our latest Warrior Magazine is expected to start on 2^nd March, so this bulletin will not repeat all the detail on the subjects we normally cover in the magazine.  But since the Warrior went to press, we have now completed the first phase of the MPI testing required on chassis components for quality reasons. This is an important step - around 50 components were tested last week, using a competent third party. We are this week assessing the results with the help of our Certification Body.  

People

Thanks to determined ancestry research undertaken by our colleague Neil Kinsey, we have been able to trace a great-grandson of Sir Henry Fowler, the LMS Chief Mechanical Engineer at the time of the Patriot class build. He has expressed interest in our project and we arranging to meet him to take this interest further.

One of our Trustees, John Hastings-Thomson, who will be known to many of you, has had to undergo major heart surgery this month. He is still in hospital to help his gradual recovery, but we understand the operation was successful. We all wish him well.
