6942 is named Alex Boughey and his Mom has asked if anyone could grab a pic of it for her son?

If anyone could help , it would be greatly appreciated!

It was and then was subsequently renamed Alex Boughey after we'd contacted NXWM.

It still had its name plate in-situ until recently (we're in the process of checking with NXWM when this will be reapplied).

NXWM have said that nameplates will be reapplied from January 2024 (if not sooner). I believe that 6942 will be at WN Open Day and blinds will be programmed with Alex's name as a temporary measure.
