CONTRACT AWARDED FOR THE NEW PMP DISPLAY ROOM

Mandy got back home last night so it has been a day of catch up which as well as shopping and washing etc includes editing the four programmes emerging from the trip to Immingham docks. Study of the footage shows how the lorry, van and lamp post incident occurred the lorry drive was eyeing up a slow heavy load ahead past the roundabout and started to change lanes to the outer not seeing the van on his outside in the second lane. The van is then struck -forced off his intended route , off the road and into the lamp. It was strange seeing them split seconds before not knowing their day was going to go downhill very shortly. So take care when changing lanes, how many of us have had a shock when we realise we've pulled straight out on somebody on our offside.

I've edited three out of the four Immingham volumes and clips are already on Youtube for the first two. Covers to follow plus I need to put on digital downloads for this and Penrith. Tomorrow looks like being the last hot sunny day, it topped 20 at home today, I managed to get several jobs done in the garden putting on fertilisers, bug spraying and tidying the lawn edges. The chap from the garage conversion firm came round as scheduled and had submitted his quote by tea time, we are looking to start soonest after getting a new shed in situ and emptying the garage - I already finished loading the PMP van today ready for Detling and Brooklands in April. I'll get the shed ordered this week and then I've got to pack up all my models, I've already got quite a few boxes but it will take a while. Not sure yet on eventual 'finish' to the room but will try to get that and the office to match and get all heavy things down to waist height and on secure racking shelves unlike my bowing shelf effort. The metal racking is cheap and flexible and works well. We need to do a scale drawing and design the new layout. All the archive tapes will probably move into the new room as they are quite low and neat and will form the base for a lot of the shelving which should have two 14ft runs of say  7 shelves perhaps shallow one side and deeper to allow dioramas the other. Anyway a lot to be getting on with, photos tonight carry on with our Immingham coverage, I've started editing them ready for filing.
