The Upper Deck back in the UK, April 2013 Dateline: 24th April 2013 Ray Maidstone, our Project Manager, arrived at Ffestiniog on Tuesday evening, to be ready for the Wednesday morning offload of the top deck, only to find that the forlorn shape had already been dumped off its lorry. I was greeted by a site member, pointing a finger saying, "It's over there, where it was left at about half past four"
