From: Mike Allen

But how wrong I was once I'd opened the envelope and settled down to read the contents with a cup of coffee. 3 hours later the coffee was stone cold and I was still reading the book.
Loads of info to be getting on with.
I'll email Hugh when my terbine is up and running with some pics.
Thanks a lot.
Michael.
