Well its coming to that time of year again......The working week is on!

15th July through to the 23rd July. Mark that diary.

Q and I are working hard behind the scenes putting into place everything needed so there will be nothing stopping us from achieving the target of all the frames riveted by the end of the week.

There are quite a few jobs to do before we can start the riveting but as we all know once we get started it tends to flow well.

The countersink holes have now been welded up and a countersink bit has been ordered, Todd is making an adaptor so it can fit our mag drill. Thanks to Mark Leaman Lawrie for doing such an excellent job with the plasma cutter, we only have some light triming of the new angle irons to do now so by saving us machining costs we are once again indebted to his help and support. All the rivets are now sitting in the cab, 200 of them at £2 each.

Please let me knowlet me know if you are able to attend, there is some accomodation in the camping coach, 2 compartments will be finished, but I need to plan ahead. There is a £3 a night charge now, but all money will be put back into the coach, and it is hoped to progress with heaters in all compartments, more lighting, freshened paint and a start on the lounge...
