Really pleased for you Mate, lovely engine, could not think of a better engine for you even the reversing lever

Looking forward to seeing you out and about with her, only one thing as was pointed out at the weekend "I have lost my man" at Michealmas weekend

Congratulations from the Evans clan

I'm sure there will be plenty of willing volunteers Michaelmas weekend.

We are thinking of changing the Aveling's Name to "Burrell Beater" or one wag has said "Duck Killer"

I did suggest he put his professional Latvian engine polisher on one of your courses Joe.

Then he's have both a 'man', and a polisher.

But I would vote for ANGELICA

Does BF have anything to do with this or do we simply tell him?

Avellana is a lovely engine. A shame to see her leave these parts... but congraulations to the new owners, hope you have lots of fun with her!
