Well that's this months Hobbyking UK stock out the delayed :}
Have to say it's a testament to the design that both parts are still afloat
-
...and a testament to the loading, too.
Apparently both halves are now many nm apart.

Roll of duct tape anyone?
Grendel

Blimey, hope that doesn't happen to mine!

Well why did it break up?
...It got hit by a wave.
Got hit by a wave?
... Yeah one in a million.

Who won the jackpot in getting the salvage, 2/3rds value of vessel and cargo!!
-
read somewhere the two sections are over 20 nautical miles apart now !

Blimey, hope that doesn't happen to mine!
Ahhh........but it did Dave {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) so watch those containers matey
-
you'd think the skipper could get the back end to tow the front end home................save a lot of salvage money %% %% %% %% %% %% %% %%
-
Think I should have strengthened mine with steel instead of wood then?
Maiden voyage on proper lake on Sunday all being well, watch this space...

The back half has now sunk and the front half is being towed toward the Arabian gulf.

Yes I remember the tragic event, believe it was finally put down to a faulty design, a sister ship developed same problem but vessel survived.

Someone did not want that ship to get to harbour.

Is this the ship that was carrying all the Tamiya models so now there are none for the U.K. for the immediate future?
