Opps that photo was a bit big, I must remember to resize next time.

Don't get your hopes up but there may be more pictures to follow, I took my old steam camara with me and used up some old film, if any of them are presentable I will try to scan them for posting.

Since you say you wil be mooring it on the river you might be able to get the water flowing by to turn the prop and recharge the batteries (a tiny bit). J...
