I wonder if it will end up like the Shakleton....just a few more years...then a few more.....then "Keep going for now, we'll let you know"......... :think:

:smile:

Unfortunately it will cost ....and guess who's paying? :sad:

But it'll happen so might as well enjoy it :dance:

Looks like the old 10 will be around for a few more years yet... 2014/5 now, and who knows it may see 50 years in service yet!!!

I dread to think how much this delay is costing :roll:

Tonks :think:
2014/15! That's almost the the PVR point. I could get a couple of tours in by then! :lol:
