Ahhhhhh, a 14 'metre' Dragon on the bow! I had seen on teletext it had a "14m" Dragon on the bow. It was in the same paragraph as all the bits about the costs and so on and I'd thought it meant a £14 million Dragon. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what the hell a Dragon was or why it cost £14m.

Makes sense now :oops:

Hello all,
New to the boards. Thought some of you may be interested in the following link. A website about the other 364 days on the river Clyde, not just yesterdays launch. A collection of river traffic on the Clyde, all photos by masel.

Regards,

Barry.
