Attended an event at the Somerset Steam Spectacular, near Yeovil. Organised by Roger Plant of Big Cheese.

Working on the machine till 4.30 in the morning, had managed to get the axe working. Roger had brought along an old Metro to play with, so he rolled it over with his powerful hydraulic lifter and we cut a few holes in its roof with the axe. Unfortunately we only had enough CO2 for a couple of proper hits, so the Metro got off lightly.
