 Although the screw method isn't used, merely his water displacement principle. I was watching a video in the visitor centre regards the construction and it appears and old mate of mine from early Army days was one of the chief engineers/constructors, he would have been pleased as punch as he was a local lad.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

To finish off this months mechanical theme I took a trip out to the Falkirk Wheel. Awesome piece of kit and when it was revolving I was surprised that it hardly made a sound.

Can't say I'd ever heard of the Falkirk Wheel, a pretty impressive piece of machinary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel |

Impressive airport photos, how did you take them? Surely they weren't through the waiting area glass? I always get nervous taking photos at airports, feel like I'm about to get accosted by security if I do. |

The landing ones are through the glass, I managed to get the take-offs from outdoors. You can see the difference in the quality.

Funny you should take a blossom shot, I was waiting in for a delivery today and decided to take some of our cherry tree that's in blossom at the moment. Lovely to look at at the moment, but it'll all be gone in a few weeks. | Click to see full-size image. |
