Andrew Rowe Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 With the correct paperwork through, the Valentine is ready for transport. Final water blasting and checking we loaded onto the flat rack. I had to extend the side of the rack , as they only come in at 2.2m wide, and we need at least 2.5m for the track to be properly supported. Once this was achieved I brought in my 40ton crane for the lift. After lifting and positioning it a few times to get the correct location on the rack, we were in the final stages of lowering and were only a couple of inches off the deck, when how typical, the main pump hose blew on the crane!....call in the hose doctor for a fix. She has about 85tons of restraints on her. These are all inspected by a Marine Surveyor to certify the shipment for boarding onto the ship. Next in we have the swing lift which loads onto the truck in a minute and then gone. Cheers from The Tank Factory...........until next time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torro Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi Pictures are excellent. I am busy building a 1:6 model of the Valentine and need hobbles of information. Are there a manual available that you use to rebuild this project and how do I obtain one. Thanks Joahn Victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
