HST's around
​
South Devon
Clive Smith

Clive's pursuit of full length HST's is sadly drawing to a close now, but at least we will still have the Castle Class around for a few years yet and apart from those sacred drop down windows they are reminders of the good old days.
                     Keep up the good work Clive - and many thanks.
