Looking absolutely superb Chris. Just fantastic.
Just a thought, but with all those lights you could put some tinsel around her and save buying a tree this year!

Big catch up (sorry, been busy)
She's looking fantastic! If I possibly can, I'll be making the launch date with both cameras and a tripod.
Had the idea of possibly using foam pipe lagging as a 'shock absorber' for when in transit so that she rides on high density foam, and hopefully gets a bit of cushioning from Norfolks roads.

HI Gerry no can do puttin her on a soft foam bed im afraid as she is so big she will nr hit the roof in my car as the front section should ride in my boot an the rear section will ride on the back seat if it all goes to plan an she will be in her carry cradles as well so no room for foam im afraid so i will just drive as slow as i can an try to miss the pot holes in the rds but not always possible an cant miss them rd humps so just got to hpe luck is on my side on the day
but thanks for your thoughts very helpfull
cheers chrisb

Think you should get the launch filmed on video Chris , going to be a great event .Matron and the whole of the Committee are hiring a charabanc.
As Matron took the photo naturally she is not in it .
The driver and owner was Arthur Snodworthy., Cheap day rates .

Chris superb mate.
Outstanding work Chris, She's a beauty indeed,
HI Allen well i like to make things work if i can as i enjoy doin it an 300 notes of wirein dios no way its all in my head as i be there ages trin to draw out wirein dios an if there is a fault then i just follow the wire back from the u/s unit an find out why so im a troubleshooter lol an wirein is just wirein what is useded on model railways so easy to get different colours an thats a must as reds postitive an black negative an any other colour then i use a circut tester with a volt meter fitted in to see if its a pos or a neg an yes i'll be excited but a bundle of nerves on launch day
ATB TO YOU SIR
Chrisb
WELL John an Matron an co to get the launch on vid will be a miricale as to say which day it will be dependant on wheather an if gerry can get there in time as he says he wants to vid her launch but the wheather may stop launch as look at how many times that new big NASA rockect launch has been aborted some 20 odd times i think an my ship is just as complex lol so its just a matter of if the computers will talk to each other if not then its an abort launch lol as there are up to 22 channels in her an they will all have to work to my satisfaction before launch lol so tell matron if i have to abort the launch tell her im in hidein in case she gets out them big needles that she is so fond of to force me to launch tiger lol so it may be a wasted trip in that charabanger lol
ATB John an Matron an co
