Been ultra-busy again ……...wacko.gif

 

after.JPGSorry, but been ultra-busy this last month, so no blogging.  We did achieve something boaty over the last couple of weeks though – the Francis Searchlight we bought way back in March 2008 has been taken to bits, the grey enamel paint stripped off (using lashings of Nitromorse), all this beautiful brass exposed, polished, lacquered, put back together again and it is now mounted to our cratch using a custom made brass base.  Nice init?

 

For those out there that might want to acquire one of these searchlights and are none too keen on the standard Francis base, a drawing of our brass base is available on request.  The hole at the bottom is for mounting a 20mm bullet camera.

 

Beware of gettng a detached retina, should you happen to encounter us ‘bow on’ in a tunnel somewhere!
