    Sorry for the site outage on Sunday evening, it looks like the server decided to fall over and take ages to go through its restart process.

    Thanks for sharing the fantastic collection of pre-TOPS images with us Grahame, it's really appreciated by lots of people. We just left a slide show of your snaps running at the Manchester show on the big screen. It kept people standing and looking for ages!
