An aerial view here of the mighty shipyard, the two pontoons sprayed up in battleship grey. There are two reasons for this ~ one being that naval aircraft are this colour and so too are prototype aircraft.
The principal reason for the choice for our own selection of this livery is (a) it's cheap and (b) the dust gets everywhere and is better grey than otherwise.
As it dries quick, too, we may yet get the superstructure rigged today.
N.B. The weight of the pontoons and centre-deck amount to 6.50 kilos (14.40 pounds).
