Here are two top Gentlemen I meet for the first time at Coniston. Dave Warby having a sit in K3. What a pleasure it was getting to know Dave and his Spirit of Australia 2 team. Also Brian Eastham who came to see us at the moorings with a very famous teddy bear. Brian often came and had a chat with myself and my team and made us feel very welcome.

A massive thank you must go to Dean, Chris and team at Steels Removals for safe transportation of K3. They are probably the only company to transport K3 and K7 ever! Also to PV Dobson for the fantastic use of their tractor for launch and retrieve.

This is K7 being launched at Coniston last week. I would like to thank all the Osprey team who were in the water making sure K7 and K3 were safely launched and retrieved. Very professional team. Shoreside the Hard work of Alec and Dave in the tractor was simply top notch. Many thanks to them all.

Here is one for the anoraks. This is K3 original launch cradle. Clearly seen in period news footage and photos. It is a matter of pride that we are able to still launch K3 from her original equipment.
