    MHRestorations:

    Apropos of loss of infrastructure, there's also a lot of positives, for example the IFA2 project at Daedalus airfield (lee on the solent)... apparently the engineering is very impressive, but sadly local skills weren't available so contractors from afar are doing a lot of the work. It's good to see at least one local company (Prysmian, formerly Pirelli) are involved :)




    MHR, have you seen any of it up close? There are some pretty big spools of blue cable or ducting (cannot be water pipe) there at the moment. Think of a reel of 2.5 mm2 T&E and magnify by about a hundred.


    A guided tour would be interesting. ?
