There will be snippets on the progress of the replacement replica, including its launching.

Here are three photos from Sat.8.12.12 showing the current progress on the fitout.  These were taken by Frank Jones, the organiser of the RTA tour, and supplied by him to cover what I missed when my camera failed.
