    The GWS places great store in tradition. I have to admire their tenacity! Whilst on the subject of GWS engines is there any timeline for the completion of 1363?

    I couldn't say to be honest. I think it's a case of 'ready when it's ready.'

    Have there been any updates on 1466? I'm told some problems with the boiler have emerged and it's been partially dismantled for access to leaking rivets . It's not long since it returned to service.
