    On thing that looks apparent is there are still no signs of fittings in the fwd deck lift edges to indicate a deck lift could be fitted anytime soon. the two white tents may indicate they are installing the runners either side of the hanger opening, but they need the gear on the sponson edges as well.

    (See i said they were on holiday, thus the gap in updates )
    You did indeed cheers Geoff, interesting that you noted the tents round the hanger lift area, it's a good sign

    I expect the next lift will happen in about 2 weeks time

    Couldn't agree more, Great Knowledge from you chaps though, so even when the ACA go a little quiet i have managed to keep up to date by reading your posts. Just one thought though, i really don't like the nick name 'Queenie', sorry un all, Seeing this is going to be the Biggest outside the US what about 'Big Bess'?.
