Hmm. Interesting photo, thanks Jdam.
The two large square blocks will become SP01 Aft?
The red triangular one is SP01 Forward.
Noticed the grey LB01B bow section of PoW at the top of photo.

Having some computer problems, belated seasonal greetings to all.
I think this one is interesting from sipa press http://www.sipa.com/en/asset/fullTex...abcocks/page/1
as it shows one of the walkways being lifted
Note a picture with lots of workers present!

No skid as of yet, nice pics lads
Re the walkway pic above - just shows how enormous this vessel is!!
I'm racking my brains here but the best I can come up with in jdam's picture is two parts of SP01 and possibly SP09, could be way off the mark though, anybody else got some thoughts on it?
Weird that you say that, because earlier I thought the right-side block might be SP09 too, but I was unsure and did originally post that, but edited out later after some thought. But now you've mentioned it again, I think it might be SP09 too, because the two large square blocks combined look way too long (combined) to be SP01 Aft. If you notice the protrusion from the extreme right-side of the right-side block, that might be the aft-side aft-lift winch housing. Also, the extreme right side of the block isn't perfectly straight, it seems angled which suggests the angle matches the angle of the edge of the aft lift. The right side block seems to match the shape of SP09 on my diagrams.

Great minds and all that!!
It’s interesting the block on the left doesn’t look as tall as the one on the right so 1st guess would be the top half of SP01 but it also looks closed off like it’s an end piece and that it wouldn’t marry up to what’s already there. The one on the right looks like a full sponson, it is most likely SP09 as SKB has said.
This photo is good because it show the sheer scale of QE. She's like a man made cliff face! Good spot Cyril...I think this one is interesting from sipa press http://www.sipa.com/en/asset/fullTex...abcocks/page/1

SP09 only appears to be taller than SP01 because SP09 is higher up, being supported by a support cradle. SP09 is an interesting shaped sponson, because its depth is shallower at the aft end than the forward end. That's why its on a cradle, because it would topple over! You won't know this, but I've already drawn the entire completed ship for my diagram and this is the shape of SP09:

Not going to upload the whole "Structurally Complete!" diagram (all red!) as it would ruin the surprise. You'll have to wait until...October/November 2013!
