Hi Chris That's a really good synopsis of the life of DVV239 mate, plus the fate of its sisters. One minor point to note, it spent the summer of 2004 working out of Rhyl along with sister DVV238, not 2003. Glad we captured this nice shot of it in Wales, especially after me missing that shot in the morning lol. Steve
