They must almost be worth that money in scrap. Could we put half a dozen ribs together and tow them over. Then set Codders on them with his pocket OxyAcetylene kit. We could put the proceeds towards a Christmas 'P' up!

Imagine comming into Portsmouth Harbour unannounced in one of those . Take it though the small boat channel and see everyone scuttling out the way
