Those early machines are so intimidating

We have a lot to live up to.
And the DM does do some excellent reports.

ps - not sure about calling that group the Wrens - I thought that meant the Women's Royal Naval Service.

This was on our local news the other day. She was a remarkable woman and led a very interesting life.
