Overturned Trailer It was an answerphone message 'Steve, Jim here. Can you call me - it's bad news. Your trailer has been blown over in the storm'. It sure had! I wasn't about to go and see it the same day, so I went the day after. It was quite a shocking scene, with all three of the Shadow trailers on their side. Scene of Chaos

Not only that, but a Piper Tomahawk (PA32?) which was tied down, went for a little trip. Namely 280 metres, over a hedge to end up in the middle of a road. Mangled.
