[rescue] Sun stuff - for sale? (UK, Wales)

[Jonathan Katz]

No worries; I'm in OX10, so Wales isn't too far a trip (depending
where in Wales) and we have a decent sized estate vehicle.

I'm also volunteering with TNMOC and there may be some stuff we can
use. I'm cash-poor until payday, but if there is something interesting
there we can get it listed for sale and get them some cash that way,
and I'm happy to manage that for them.
