@JBoonArchitects @DerbysWildlife @dhbtrust @Churchman_A The project would not have been possible without your invaluable personal contribution leading up to and during the restoration. Thanks to your technical expertise and personal commitment to see it through, we had the best pilot we could have wished for. Thank you James!

Despite the wet weather we all enjoyed a study trip to Lincoln last week. The first visit was to @LincsCathedral which was simply stunning, as well as the new visitors centre by @simpsonandbrown recently awarded @ribaeastmidland Building of the Year.
