Nomadic, Titanic & other historic vessels
Has anyone else noticed the SS Nomadic project descending into ruin? It was Klingon Andy who flagged it up to me. Looks like a disturbingly familliar scenario. Museologists, HL-effers and probably a sprinkling of type-3 idiots getting themselves in a hopeless muddle. They never learn.

Re: SS Nomadic
You just reminded me of something... Would the gentleman who has our throttle linkage rod be good enough to return it. We're ready to put it back and it must be clean by now.

Evening Boss 
Ah yes the throttle linkage, I had also forgotten that you had given a certain person the task of transforming that particular piece of deformed poetry! I will seek out and establish it whereabouts without delay!! Rest assured I will leave no stone unturned until it is found from that safest of safe places in which it has been kept safe for many months.
Now let me see
If you remember correctly I personally took homework home on two occasions and returned them both gleaming
Firstly both Batteries and secondly both air starter bottles. However I have a feeling this is more than can be said for the original person given this small task! I will go and have a word and establish it whereabouts and actually how far they got with their Brillo pad sorry I meant Baby Shampoo of course 
Fear not Boss I shall return

Re: SS Nomadic
As you say, Novie, your work on the batteries and start bottles was exemplary. Imagine how clean our throttle linkage must be by now. I'll leave its safe return in your capable hands...

Re: SS Nomadic
Good news I have it Boss
Found the bloody thing after twos hrs of looking Only kidding I knew where it was all the time 
I think another polish is in order though as it has been gathering dust whilst sitting in a cupboard. I had forgotten to tell you some of the serial numbers are clear to read. However the original colour of the linkages is that Aircraft GREEN although well faded it was Green like the other linkage in pic of the day recently. Will have it back up to you a.s.a.p.
I love how the chrome parts have come up really shiney even that bend with the heat treatment they had put in has come up really well. Except for the steel bits which are heavily rusted! May need to be lightly shot blasted and treated by your man at bettablast?
Otherwise chuffed to bits with it on the whole.

Re: SS Nomadic
Aye Mike that was before your time mate when we were taking homework home. Infact to be honest it was Julie who asked if she could have a bit to clean as I was taking more work home as the volunteer front was a bit thin on the ground way back then. The workshop wasn't always the warm clean environment it is today! Anyway I've got the roof rack on so that Jet engine should be OK once I get the bugger tide/secured down. It would be good if I could get it to light up certainly give Mr. Dodds a different take on what real speed is coming back across the A69 
Mind you we don't do so bad in the old Scubby

Re: SS Nomadic

Re: SS Nomadic
Its like bloody chinese whispers here, we went from SS nomadic to tidy workshops in 10 moves. I always say that a messy workshop is a busy one where a tidy one is someone who does sod all all day. Thats what i tell my boss at work but in reality i cant be arsed to tidy it up. My rivet barra is still quite tidy though. Oh and thank you Novie for having the missing piece. Workshop will be a much happier place tomorrow now Bill knows where it is and we can stand interpol down.
