David Pike, in your post about your Sun-Moon fix, you described setting up your sights in your Astrovan and included a photo of snow, on its roof (yes?), designed to make all of us with no winter yet jealous.

You've mentioned your "Astrovan" a number of times in the past, but it's been a while, and I don't think you've ever written its "biography". Could you tell us about it? Any more photos?? Did you set it up as a sort of rolling classroom? How many times have you demonstrated sextant sights, and how many people have had a chance to try a sight, would you say? Does it still travel, or has it finally retired to a sedentary life? And how many different sextants have you installed over the years?

And before I forget, have you tried sights while flying down the motorway at Vulcan speeds? :)
