Even in 2002 they thought the exterior brightwork was "unbelievably expensive"! Don't know what they'd think now!
Well worth posting Marcus - well done! Needs to be a sticky!

I've cleaned-up those six JPEGs and combined them into one 1.04 meg 6-page PDF. Unfortunately, the original text resolution was a little fuzzy, and it's no better in the PDF. If you want a copy, you can download one here:

That's my GoogleDrive accounnt, and I have limited extra space. Therefore, I'll only leave the file on the drive for a limited time. If you want a copy, don't wait, download one now.
Regards,
Tim Engel

The article has Chapman living for an extra 10 years longer than he actually did - poor quality research/fact checking there!!
