I did Raymundo, and a fine piece of work it is too.

I don’t know if you’ve been back since, but they’ve done a really good job of it. :smiley:

wheres the loader driver?
looks like he could possibly have been “on the point of being dangerously tired” and is having a kip somewhere?
or is he away up goatfell looking for spare parts for his aeroplane… :laughing: :laughing:

It had to be calm to sail that kite, unmanageable in any thing more than a puff of wind when empty and landing her on the ramp first time and in the correct position was a stomach churning exercise and in the three years I was skipper of her it never got any easier and as this photo proves it could get a lot worse … :frowning:
