This photo does not convey the size of the trailer load. At just over 5mtrs long it's l o n g! My trusty wife Lesley was on hand throughout the unloading process. It was surprisingly easy to offload with judicious use of levers and blocks etc.

QB Fuse: you may just make out the push rods suspended on the left hand side of the crate. This picture almost makes the fuselage look primed. It's not, well not externally anyway. Van's wash prime the interior of the QB Fuselage with a clear wash primer. It's quite a controversial subject whether to prime/not prime. Anyway, since this kit has been languishing in a barn untouched for 4 years I'm glad it was!!

Another view of the QB Fuselage, the firewall is a the bottom of the picture.

This is the opposite view of the 'standby' workshop. It measures 5x4.5mtrs and electricity is supplied via two generators. One small Honda 2Kva and the other a Honda 5.5Kva for the heavy duty compressor work.

This is the 'standby' workshop site. The floor has been concreted and is now ready for a final screed.
Eventually, a rubber underlay, and then carpet will be laid to provide a 'softer' flooring. Shelves and workbench will also be custom made.

Note: The two black steel items were originally going to be used for the 'Jig' but now I've decided to stay with wood. I will use the steel for some other purpose later. Perhaps, for another bench.
