Well would you look at that. Missing fans return.

The dedicated reader will recall a post on the 7th of September 2008 that questioned the safety of an Orchard Rite fan that had its blade secured so tightly that it produced a visible bend in the blade.

The downright avid reader will recall a follow up report on the 25th of February 2008 that highlighted the fact that all the fans from this particular paddock 'disappeared'.

I am pleased to report that after what I could only imagine is part of an annual migratory journey, the fans are back and upright.

Where did they go?

Mystery.

Why did they go?

Mystery.

Speculative theories abound;

• The infamous 'Marlborough triangle' strikes again?
  
• Fan-napped by mischievous uni students (University of Catalonia is my pick)?
  
• Fan-rustlers?
  
• Mechanical problem highlighted by Frost Fans Blog prompts maintenance?
  

Your guess dear reader is as good as mine.
