Re: Why do we do it?
I’ve dragged this topic up from way back, ‘cos I feel proud today. Why does metal that’s lain on the bottom of Coniston Water for yonks always seem to corrode in the most awkward of places? Over the last few years I’ve made dozens of patches for K7 and never really thought much about it. You just ch...

Re: Happy Birthday Bill!
From me and all your mates, have a very happy birthday, Bill. We're all thinking of you, even though you didn't bring the beer in last night!! I have to admit though, I thought that I was one of the oldest in the team but perhaps it's just the VAT factor somebody mentioned. Anyway, as another famous...

Half a Million!!
Don’t know if anyone else noticed, but the Bluebird Project website passed the 500,000th hit this morning. For a site about a 55 year old squished tin boat, that’s quite an achievement in my opinion. James is my 11 year old grandson, so he’s not supposed to be interested in all things Bluebird but h...

Re: Pic of the Day
Couldn't agree more with that Mike! I've not seen that picture before and when I showed it to the Memsahib, the "can't" word was muttered. :lol: Just to have the vision to realise that it could be put back in a usable condition is amazing, never mind actually do it. When you see it now, su...

Re: 'Tis The Season
It was EIGHT o’clock and TIME for a TIPPLE, so I went down to the CELLAR to DISTIL a UNIT or TWO of APPLE VODKA. I went through a SHORT TUNNEL and back up TOP, looking for PROOF of the DIURETIC quality of a TOT of ABSINTHE in my WATER, but there was NONE. I used a STOUT PUMP on the ETHANOL OPTIC, bu...

Re: Looking Back In Time- Archive Bluebird Photos
I love these photos of the boat, so thanks for sharing them.
The head-on shot posted today though was something special and sent goosies up my neck.
What a beautiful machine K7 really was. How many more of these amazing shots are still to be seen I wonder?
