8701
Club certification with hydraulic test valid until 2021, steam test expires in May 2020. The engine runs well, however there are a couple of tiny pinhole leaks on the foundation ring and throatplate - we suspect they'd take up under steam (and are pretty sure it's been running around like this for this for a while) but need either plugging or some Comsol before next test.
