Recovery Kit Retrospective

In celebration of all the new subscribers, I thought I'd share some behind the scenes photos of 2019 and 2020 from the build of the original Raspberry Pi Recovery Kit, including some commissioned builds. Future projects will be shared like this for paid subscribers, but don't
