Thats a very interesting looking "craft" you have there. Could you tell a little about it or can you point to a source of information.
Do you work within it or are you a "remote operator"?

Thanks

Hi Jared,
Thats we all around here affectionately refer to as "the captured UFO" :lol: aka as "the observatory".
I'm not a remote operator, but abit of work it probabily could be made to operate remotely. Its base is 114x114 inches so its quite spacious and can hold a large scope, it can literally be has high as you want, its height is cut to size. Its made from fiberglass so its permamantly water proof as it doesnt rust, rot or corrode. Over the next 50+ years or so it will loose its gloss finish.
I was made by Dave Bell, he now lives in Armagh, he made this as a proto-type and he did say at the time that he'd be making more, I dont know if he did. If you're interested in it you should send him a pm/email.

Well, I'll give you a C for effort Dave... and for Champions!

Well done Munster!

Declan Kidney is my wife's sister's brother-in-law (sounds difficult i know)so as you can imagine although I'm a Leinster supporter I was in a win-win situation here. Great news for Declan particularly after losing both parents in the last 18 months - particularly his mum more recently.

Yea, I'd heard this on the TV. We gave the team a good home coming on sunday despite the pelting rain!
