Army Cadet Volunteers 2007
Following on from the success
of the previous year visit the trust were privileged to have another
set of army cadet volunteers. This time round the cadets were from the
Army Foundation College based at the Harrogate Barracks. The cadets
were given the task of scraping out the caulking on the hull, used to
effect a water tight seal. It was not an envious task and one that was
undoubtedly tiresome in the extreme. The only real way of removing the
calico caulking was to use scrape it out using basic tools, the caulking
had been in so long that there was a theory that much of it was the
original layer. It would not come out in one strip and had to literally
picked and scraped out a small bit at a time.
