Ah ..you mean "The Hotel Ford" or Hangar 3 as the Lady Muriel calls it ! I weakened slightly and got a hatchback for wee models, she like that a bit better, keep them happy I always say.
As nobody else has raised it, try dropping a line to the Curator of the Scottish Maritime Museum, Harbourside, Irvine,Ayrshire, KA12 8QE. He's an Aussie but we can't all be perfect...
Anybody know what is happening to the tall-ship at the Irvine museum ? Wasnt it an emmigrant ship or have some other Oz connections. Hmmm , methinks that Aussie curator may be a mole !
The "tall ship" is the Carrick, ex-City of Adelaide built in Sunderland and used on the Australian emigrant run. The Scottish Maritime Museum does not have the funds to restore her and although the cities of Sunderland and Adelaide were (are?) interested, neither could come up with any funds either. The present situation is that a decision is awaited from a certain businessman who is interested in buying, restoring and putting her back into a sailing role. If he does not come up with the readies then the only course left is a controlled, recorded demolition. Meanwhile she sits in a dry berth under a Goretex-type canopy.
