Thanks for picking this up Dan, there is a picture of the gregga
array, which is a home brewed version of a decca tree on the gear
section of my website:

There are some sound samples using various mics on the array:

I also used the array for setting up two stereo mic arrays on one
convenient tripod, particularly in the Prettyboy recordings, also on
my site.

The decca tree basically allows an AB stereo setup, traditionally in
classical music recording using omnis, I use it a bit more liberally
than that.
