Methinks it be a Skippers vessel, not one of 'em Golden Albatrosses. A mighty fine job of berthin' the wee lass someone's done, but even more mighty fine be the sign some wag has stuck t' the rear door of the conquest

I be postin' a daggeurotype if anyone be wantin' teh see.

Nice wiz....... always the optimist. Guess the sign come from the hangar next door. At least they had sense of humour, a bit more than the senior base for skippers would have had

PMSL!!!

Wish someone had thought of doing that when the Metro and the lighting tower had a smooch a few years back...

Best thing I've seen all week (well, maybe except for the Borat thread...! )
