I'm pretty sure that X35's condition was caused by a collision at Tottenham
(or was it Dynon) Anyhow, remember that X35 was also involved in the
crash/rollover at Glenorchy many years ago. A fitter at Newport once told me
that it was really tough to align the generator to the engine on X35 because
of its bent frame.
