A bit more was achieved at Overton, with a repaint of the Banana Van being top of the list. Tim got on with some filling and then Mark and Paul sanded down and started painting.

Meanwhile, Matt was busy with the cream topcoat of Tim’s trailer. The transformation of the vehicle fleet is progressing really well and looking fabulous. The rectangular patches on the sides are where the poster boards will be reattached.

There was an early finish to proceedings due to Tim giving a lecture for NVR Members about wagons and the Overton Project. The evening was another success with positive comments all round.
