[PSUBS-MAILIST] Gamma restoration

[James Frankland]

Hi Alan,

I completed the trailer yesterday.  So i need to now arrange the crane to
lift it out of the shed onto the trailer.  But i am away next week on
holiday so that is going to delay me a week.  But after that.  I have
arranged to use a local quarry which is fresh water for an initial dip
test.  I dont think the slipway is deep enough for a full launch but at
least i can test most of the seals before putting it in the sea.  If it
leaks, i would much prefer fresh water inside than seawater.  So i expect
to be in the water in 3 weeks max.
Kind Regards
James
