Judt heard on news the Cutty Sark is reopening after the fire that could easily have seen the end of a beautiful vessel. Think it time to visit Greenwich for the day.

Amazing what can happen when people work together and focus on something they want to happen.

Woking-ish

Wasn't it a careless contractor that caused the fire, didn't he have insurance cover? If not I hope they sued his ass off!

I've been to the Cutty Sark 3 times. Twice when I was at school and once when we took our kids,

Quite possibly the 3 most boring trips I've ever had

Apart from the sad reality it will never set sail again it is a fabulous restoration and shows(as someone said) what can be achieved when this country focuses on achieving something.

Now can they PLEASE restore a Concorde to full flying state and take it round the world with a bloody great Union Jack on it! (And a very small Tricolor underneath ... )

And a Harrier...

It looks good but is hardly an original now but more of a copy.

If only! The retirements of Concorde, Harrier and Nimrod were sad days. At least we have a Vulcan back in the air though, it sounds awewsome..
