Those were more lovely old pics from Graeme. The streamliner in the

paddock

looked sad.

We know of only one (of 14 total built) that is still in reasonable
condition out "in the wild". No.255 is near Thames and under a good roof
and up off the ground - could be restored - the rest are just about
compost. Main problem are those curved-out sides - gives a structural
weakness at the sill and the upper sloping (window) bit lets water in -
the combination in the weather is fatal. The reason was to give 3" more
internal width for big fat arses inside.

Here's a recent pic with one curve out (248) and two curve in (135 and

100)

- they look old fashioned eh!
