Another Ribble Leopard

26th September 2007 to 21st November 2007

This is DRN672D. Another short Ribble Leopard.
It has been in open storage on the Isle of Man since December 1983.

After a guided tour of 672 in August 2007 a deal was subsequently struck and so on the 6th October 2007 672 was successfully recovered from Regaby and now joins 665 in preservation.

672 has donated several items towards the resoration of 665, but still remians fully mobile.
