about 14 years ago i got chatting to an elderly chap during lift-out day at dilham. it turned out he had been a flight engineer on halifax bombers during ww11 after the RAF he joined BOAC which is now british airways and was a member of the first team to be trained up for the jumbo 747, he later went on "loan" down under for QUANTAS training their aircrew, in later years he was again selected to join the team which brought CONCORDE to our skies, he never was a crew member on a commercial flight only on the development, he had a boat on the dilham moorings and lived in salhouse what a fantastic few hours of chat that turned out to be

you forgot the smiley maurice

top drawer as usual robin many thanks

many thanks for the link AND FREE

the last of the peregrine falcons fledged this afternoon around 5.15pm the nest is now empty, 100% success

it is different, there is no doubt of that, i have had half a dozen holidays on the canals and have never been asked to pay a mooring fee, free mooring is available on 90% of the towpaths on the system, i found if you hire a cruiser stern boat you can all sit out, also outside seating in the bow area, the pace is a lot slower and turning needs to be planned,, by turning i mean going about, a 60ft boat does not turn in a 30ft wide canal so planning is essential, i did not find the boats claustrophobic at all, different but enjoyable, give it a go

AC/DC highway to hell

CITY LINK for me every time, usually booked via "parcel2go"

are you referring to the lovable DC30 they are a very popular boat in the private sector now the hire yards have no use for them i believe richardsons still have one on the fleet, refurbished only 2 or 3 years ago

maybe you have already done it but, i put "plastic header tanks" into ebay search box and came up with a few ideas, give it a try

and hello from me

always thought the easticks 25, similar to the safari, was a strange looking boat it always reminded me of a "pug" breed of dog even on the lowest of tides i do not think it would go under potter bridge

i do look forward to your posts john, they always make me chuckle
