3. Allan - what progress with FV1146? I hope it is up and running. It would be lovely to have such an early FV running again. As you wrote FV1146 would appear to be the oldest known one stamped FV.

You can anneal the gasket on the gas stove, cherry red and quench in water.

I don't need any pictures thankyou.
