I kied the Generator especially and it looked like you had a right job trying to gt to the battery. Somewhere on the IOW was a test facility for Rockets. I can remember seeing a Documentary about it a while back. Do you know anything about it?

Wow, IOW had so much to offer. I go there regularly so next time will take my torch and camera. Great pics
