The base snowcat feeling a bit down in the dumps after melting a bearing in the gearbox. It just squeeked and then stoped! Aparently!!!! Ummm!!!! Biterly cold working under this machine at -5. However after a day or two we had the beast running again and serviced ready for the Royal visit. When Princess Anne will spend a few days here at Rothera on the 15th. The day after my birthday. Hope she brings a present for me.
We eventually got the slipway into place after much rearrangement and foul language!! The boatman is very pleased with our handy work and can now launch and retrive his boats with ease.
Tommy V and myself in the sledge. Part of the RAC (Rothera Automobile Club) on the way back from a breakdown.
