Here we have our tour guide Raj, and us together, At first he denied anything about a large twin, then later on I asked if we could see the prototype dept, he smiled and said "No", so I replied that I won't be able to see the twin then, and he just smiled!! Just 4 of us on the tour, so was able to ask many questions, no all with satisfactory answers tho'!

I had arrived at the factory early, and just across the way was the wheelbuilding site and with the permission from the manager was able to freely walk around at my leisure and take photographs.

All the staff were so obliging and enjoyed being in the photos

Looks like a fun & interesting day out.
Reassuring to see they're really not made in forest clearings using only stone tools & animal glues.....

......although I'm pretty sure mine was...........
