Katy wasn't always Katy

It's been a bit of a slow time in the refurbishment project as Katy is away waiting for the weather to be OK for the gearbox swap she needs

So in the mean time a little reflection on her past

Katy wasn't always Katy

We knew that of course, but who had she been and where has she been ?

We know some of the history because of the useful information that has been provided by John and Toby already, but they have both left a trail of other information that's not too hard to track back and work out some more information from (isn't the Internet wonderful!)

When Toby bought her she was "Another Florence" on the Yahoo Ambulance Group and through that we've been able to get some more pictures of her adventure down through Africa. Here  she is in front of Table Mountain in Capetown where her African Odyssey ended and where she was shipped home to the UK from.

Since then Toby bought her, but didn't find time or family acceptance to use her and work on her and then John bought her from him and found the same. I can see from the discussions in the forum the various prices discussed, but we've all made deals we were happy with and I'm enjoying working on her so we're all happy now.

And interestingly I find that Katy was to be Florence (Another Florence in fact), but I'm sure she didn't mind becoming Katy and I hope she's enjoying her new identity as much as I am.

So thanks guys for leaving all that wonderful information out there for me to find. it's been fun discovering and if the weather holds we'll have a lot more good news on the blog by the end of the week.
