WN02 (RN 246) – Thanks to Sir Colin FLugel – by Kerry Young
14th September 2006
Ah yes indeed. My camera threw a sickie and is presently in the camera hospital where they are determining whether the sickness is terminal. Such being the case, Sir Colin stepped into the breech in the pixel picture department and I have just returned from collecting his pictures for this issue. (The pictures were transferred to a jump drive, thereby retaining them at full size.) So, what have we got? Let’s see…………….
Well this week was concrete foundation week. The morning was devoted to final trimming and securing of the boxing. On this site, we will have four containers for secure storage. Seen here, the crew are almost finished the preparations. You know them all, but for the record from L. to R. we have, Yours truly, Graham Inwood, Jolly Roger, Ray Shearman, (not driving anything at the time) and Pete Soundy. The shovels are being leaned on in the time honoured tradition.
In a totally different vein;
Very sadly, beyond redemption.

Wherever you look, the Dragon Decay has taken its toll. Leaves you feeling depressed doesn’t it? The shaping of the timber there is crying out for preservation and how good it would look when finished! (They don’t build them like that any more 🙁 ! )
So there you have it for another week. Again my thanks to Colin for making his pictures available and very interesting they were too. It’s good to get out and about, to see aspects other than the workshop and restoration. Till next week it’s so long from me. Cheers, ‘K’. |
