Dear Susan,
With Bob in mind, I had already told "Kugelblitz" that we have someone who
could give them professional advice on the construction of a ship should
they decide to go ahead. They are
presenting their outline to Channel 4 and, if commissioned, will go
ahead. The stumbling block
is always cash.
As you know, we made a model here which was subsequently shipped to the
States for
exhibition purposes but I've since lost trace of it. I had hoped that it
would be housed in
the Sinclair Centre at Caithness as it is the only thing which is left of
my £10,000 donation
to the venture.
