Ready for the water (well,
almost). As launch date gets closer, we get more and more nervous - will
it work? Will it float?

We will be easy to spot from
a helicopter! And you might hear us coming, too!
On the inside, electrical
and central heating systems are
complete. The washer/dryer has been plumbed
in. Safety equipment has appeared and the
side
doors have been decorated and fitted.
