Gently straightening the old Holt-Allen spar from my newly acquired vintage Mk12 (N2255) last night, but only succeeded in snapping off the bottom 650mm!  

Incredibly thin wall section on these old HA masts - no wonder they were so floppy. Glad it didn't happen in a blow.

Anyway - if anyone has an unwanted Proctor C, Alpha etc, Superspar M1 or anything reasonable in aluminium they can pass my way, I'd be very pleased to hear from you. I'm in West Yorks. but could travel to collect. Thanks

I have an old Proctor C (I think) Gold coloured - been outside for a short while but you can have it for free.  I'm in Wiltshire though  ??)

Not sure I'll be up to Yorkshire for a while (although have family there).

Thanks - that's really kind of you to respond so quickly.  

Given the distance involved and my family commitments at weekends, I'll give it a few days to see if any options arise a bit closer to home.

Cheers

Yep- or a lightweight Bermudan rig for Donald Acklam's rebuilt Heron that I'm hoping to redeck over the close season!
