My first drain was from the lower rad hose, the top rad hose, and the hose between the coolant expansion bottle and the radiator. I also loosened the coolant screw hidden behind the LHS of the engine block, and drained as much coolant as I could from here.

Altogether I managed to fill 8 litres in a bucket - although some ended up on the ground as i'm cack-handed. Assuming 9-10 litres came out of the system in total.

I later flushed hosepipe water through the system for an hour. It could well be the case that there is still some of this water in the engine block, although I did drain it from the lower rad hose. I didn't bother to undo the hidden coolant screw after the hosepipe flush as it's a pain to access.

I'll give the old girl a good blast this evening and see if she produces any warmer air.
