Rumour has it that the horizontal stiffeners of the roof had been removed and they were happy for him to put it back once they had reinstated the roof to the original structure.

Independence helped, as did being at the mouth of the Rhine. The Hanseatic League seemed to help things along as well. -

The Romans built the Foss Dyke from the Trent to Lincoln - still in operation today. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-network/fossdyke-navigation -
This has some nice Bord na Mona footage not long after the start. http://www.rte.ie/player/gb/show/storyland-1239/10519665/ You may need to adjust the link for 'homeland' viewing, see what happens.

Incompetent and distasteful media reporting - MS-804
Broithe replied to Noel's topic in Letting off Steam
This is a classic example - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-36333664 - the second picture up from the bottom isn't an A320, it isn't even an Airbus, it's a Boeing 777. I wonder if Boeing's lawyers might be interested...? I did inform the BBC over a day ago, but I suspect they feel it's not worth making it right, but they could just delete the daft picture. -
At the time, I wasn't too interested in trains, or I could have got some good pictures of it through the fence - it often spent a day or two there whilst it was got back into a fit state to limp off and be 'fixed properly'. There was also (still is) a footbridge there - there must be some pictures from that somewhere.

I worked here at the time they were being tested and some time was spent stuck on the bend there - - when the tilting mech failed on several occasions. They did have a distinct "Gerry Anderson" look about them, even at the time.

They seem to have a hard life in UK service. But, now and again, somebody gives one a slap of paint.

Flex? Fix? Once you write a 'rule' for English, you've had it.

Nice - the scan of the images at the top is just the right speed, they're often too slooooow. You use helix's and helices for the plural of helix - helices for me.

Forty shades of green, and at least two shades of emerald.
