Title: PS Etona - 1960's restoration
Post by: Brian on October 25, 2006, 02:53:36 AM

Having found some back issues (1975) of Model Boats, I noticed that there was an article which might be of interest to some of the PD fraternity, especially our "Aussie friends".

The article was spread over consecutive months (March & April 1975) and was about the restoration of PS Etona during the 1960's.

The article has been scanned and  each month's portion was saved separately as an Adobe "PDF" type file, and the software to read it is freely available from the Adobe web-site.

So happy reading of both instalments which it is hoped will soon be available somewhere on the Paddleducks site, but due to the size of files, they are currently not yet available on this site!!!

PS They are now available as mentioned in a later posting below by Eddy M

That's it Hans, if I don't bother with silly things like sleeping maybe? :)

Or I could make the ultimate sacrifice and not go joy riding on paddlers? Nah, there are limits!
