Not there Pete.  You need to head SE.

Is the farmyard track the access to the church?

CAT - It's not the official route to the church but it looks like it might be used as parking for the church and entering from there.

Thx, not the lot I was thinking of.  IIRC the Dolphin yard burnt down around 2005-2010.  It used to be a lovely little museum run by a "right character".  They were responsible for keeping SB Cambria in a halfway reasonable condition until the trust could be formed and raise enough money to preserve her.  Happy memories of a younger, fitter, me hanging over the wheel house painting both the wheelhouse and myself!

MartinR, Heres the Stand it was on.

[John Walker]

Thanks Grandarog.  Until your recent clue I was just 'trawling' the actual museums.  Seeing the fact that it was on a pallet, I then guessed it wasn't a permanent display.  An amazingly powerful looking lump of machinery.




Next one .....   No clues to start with in case someone can get it without.

Unlikely, Dolphin museum burnt down and closed several years ago.  I think it was arson.
There was one outfit at the show some years back that had a tug (or similar) moored against the dockyard wall, and also had access to PS Amos.  I can't remember who now, but they gave me and interesting tour way back when.  I go past the Amos every time I go out to my boat, and a sad sight she is to behold.

[grandarog]

Martin R ,I cant remember  it was 10 years ago.   The Dolphin Barge Museum could tell you they have it.

[MartinR]

Was the winch off PS Amos, or am I confusing it with a different stand?

[grandarog]

Well Done John Walker. It was the eye catcher for the Dolphin Barge Museum Stand in the main Exhibition hall at The Kent County Show.
Over to you yet again. Hopefully we will gradually attract more guessers as time goes by.
