| | | | | Wow! I'm glad I watched that, I'd never have believed it otherwise. Very Very impressive. I'm not sure what I expected, but I was pleased. Needless to say, the boat was amazing.

That's out of a total collection of 1 million! Puts my 25,000 to (...) (24 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)

| | | | | | | | Like Scott, I was not sure what to expect from the programme, although while the ship was quite impressive, in some ways it had scope for improvement. I felt that the bow would look much smother using plates rather than bricks, but maybe he did not (...) (24 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.uk)
