    Pleased you enjoyed it Martin - I know we all did, and we were well pleased with seeing all those smiling faces about the place.
    We'll try to book some better weather next time you come.

    Certainly looks like there was plenty happening. Like this one Martin.

    Also the site looks a lot better than my last visit - I will have to make a trip up there soon.

    Dora looks a little sad though.

    Everyone was saying how much tidying up had taken place so it had a very nice authentic feel . Everyone on the charter wanted to go back again and the short nightshoot with thanks to Simon hopkins was a real bonus

    It was nice to be made so welcome and I hope that through the pictures , video's and money it was worthwhile for the RRM as well

    Needless to say we have idea's for next time !!

    For the volunteers I can quite honestly say it was the one of if not the best day ever! Looking forward to getting you all back again as there are already some great new ideas being looked at! Brilliant!

    I know its a bit late in the day but I would also like to pass on my thanks to R.R.M. for a cracking day out on Russ Hilliers charter. Well done to all concerned.
    A few more photos of the days event on my site at:

    As well as the enjoyable photo charter and hospitality of the volunteers, just a special thanks for the moving service with Singapore for Armistice day. Really nice to see her decked out with the Union Flag and White Ensign, and to have Orchids placed on her.
    A very special engine which has persuaded me to join the RRM in order to keep track of it and hopefully contribute something towards it.

    Thanks Ben! look forward to seeing you around the museum! Singapore is to be stored as soon as we get the covered accomodation up on the site in the near future as we prepare to undertake its full overhaul to working order again!

    Thanks for the update.
    Dont expect to see too much of me: its quite a trip from Durham and I've got more than enough projects on the go here.
    Having said that I might be tempted for a working party on Singapore and hope to make the next photo charter.
