Unfortunately they got the tides wrong (or the tides flowed higher than estimated) on the Thames so they can't get it under the bridges....so for a few days (until 12th) it is stuck at Isleworth near Heathrow on what is, by normal River Thames sizes, an enormous barge. [Yeah, I realise that in the US of A kids paper boats are that size..... ;-) ] I went over to get a few pictures. Unfortunately the IIIf decided to uncouple its film from the spool!!!! But having my Digilux-1 with me I grabbed a few digital shots. A few are here (look in the folder G-BOAA) http://www.leica-gallery.net/pd-leica/index.html These are offered for general interest - particularly of those of you into aircraft. I am off travelling so they haven't been subjected to days in PS and are "as seen". Hope you enjoy them. Peter Dzwig
