This one has been in the news for a week, although I have not looked due
to the levels of light pollution around here which has dramatically
increased in the last week.
Then if I go to the nearest park area I could get arrested for
disturbing perverts of something.

Meh. I used to carry a euphonium AND a trombone, the case for which
accommodated both valve attachment and slide.

I have just been up to Clifton Downs, and it can be seen by the naked
eye despite all the light pollution from Bristol. Looks great through my
10x binoculars. I might also have seen a shooting star, but there is a
lot of noise in that area at the moment.

(Didn't see any preverts.)

This was indeed the plan. That's why it's a glitch. I hope a decent
lever can be retrofitted without too much difficulty.

Depends if you can use a screwdriver...
