With the longer fuse, increased span and Tynes, it really looked good and had it gone into BEA service even better :)

For a a little further edification, google J. Lyons tea shops and corner houses and all will come clear. :agree:
On a note of pure trivia so beloved of these forums, :hide: Lyons were the first commercial company in the U.K. to build and operate the first digital computer for business use - L.E.O. :cpu:
