Is that a ground monitor in your lounge or are you just pleased to see me?

Now term has finished, finally found time to nip down to LW Vass in Bedford to collect my early Christmas present. There, nestling forlornly in a corner of one of their stores was my ground monitor. These weren't part of the kit carried in 2002/3 on Op Fresco (the point at which 326 will stay in terms of colour and kit) but they are apparently good fun....

We'll skip over the bit where I put it in the back of the MG and then closed the boot with the keys inside (a couple of their mechanics, some small wedges and a long wire.....).

He threw a nozzle spanner and some more nozzles in too! Anyway, it's now in my lounge on display until I can put it in my friend's garage with the rest of the stuff. Not that I mind as it does have a certain industrial beauty!

Unused nozzle spanner - if you look through the protective layer, you can just make out the ER cypher and date - 1-54:
