Well thats about it ! As of the End of Sept 2010 the back doors, gutter and down pipes were given a top coat of Olive green, Finshed !

So after 6 years, lots of fund raising and many hours of graft its done, completed !

Thanks to all out there who have supported the project


Hello all, things havent stopped since the July opening day, with the back doors painted inside we began to remove the years of grime and oil off the out side faces during Sept

One door undercoated and one cleaned up by mid sept

And by 16th Sept one door was given a top coat of olive green and the other undercoated

Nearly there now !

During June and July 2010, we have spent many days cleaning and degreasing the inside faces and all the mechanisums on the rear doors

All four doors were fully cleaned and degreased by 13th July 2010,then the painting began

Over a few days during mid July 2010 the back doors were painted silver inside

All three personel doors were undercoated and given a coat of red and greeen gloss

Frames done

And the bottom tracks were cleaned out

Even the 'new ' Tug is looking great

Many thanks to all who have supported us
