( John Gow : Ok things have changed, but the basics are still the same. We still send the 4/E to check
the flame pattern through the sighting port and can spin the CCTV camera around onto the funnel.
We also have a hand ignitor, automation is great when it's working but we should all know how to do
things manually as sometimes you need to. )
