Its been a while since i have been able to put a spanner on the carriers, we have been moving our museum (85 large items alone ! ) anyway finally managed to move the carriers from my home workshop to the new workshop at the museum for finishing. here are just a few photos of the carriers on the move. Must try and catch up a bit now.

looking good mate, i reckon all the hassle of the move will be worth it in the long run and with a setup like that you could probably even start restoring other guys carriers

Rick mate, i have left a space on the other side of the workshop - but then again there is another 150 feet of space after the W/S area. So ready when you are ! at least you can concentrate on the Cromwell for the War and Peace show.

Shaun, If I was to look in my book 'Airfields of the 8th' would I see an old picture of your workshop in there?.
