It was then lifted clear of the wreck by a large custom built claw he designed, leaving the cargo holds clear for hard hat divers to salvage. One ship he worked on off the North American coast had a deck cargo of a dozen or so Shermans. The ship had sunk upright after being torpedoed and he had lifted all the Shermans off the deck and placed them on the sea bed around the hull. Strange to see them all sitting there.

If you run across that video again, please share (or let me know). I can't find it either..

Its bizarre in many ways to think that my Dad, 92, may have helped manufacture some of those very Carriers. He was working at the Sentinel Works in Shrewsbury in the early 40s before entering service with the RAF. Anyone who wants to know anything about the process. Now is the time to ask. Dad still has very accurate recollection of all aspects of this build. Let me know and I can ask him andrew@honychurch.com

Andrew. As there are no adjustments in the gear change system, it seems to me that a bit of judicious "tweaking" was carried out, to make things fit / operate smoothly. What might your dad have to say about that aspect?
