The campaigners vow to rebuild this paddler from pieces after the demolition. I wonder who is putting up a business case for them? Like so many preservation tasks, a great idea but when it comes to investing hard earned cash, I doubt any hope for this one. P.S Waverley is short of cash, the Medway Queen is having a new hull but struggling for the cash for the completion of the rebuild, to name a couple of examples.
Let the demoliition contractor carry on with his work, or am I being too pessimistic?
