Seeing duke Gloucester slip and seeing the sheer power of tornado reminds me of how far preservation has come,in 1990 tornado was merely a dream and way back in 1976 duke of Gloucester was rusting away.The preservation movement is absolutely overwhelming and makes anyone proud to be an enthusiast or a volunteer,excellent video and very enjoyable.
