Fascinating tale. Are there any internal threading and boring sets lurking in there?

Cheers

A neat job. I assume the rounded packages down the centre are packing to keep things in place.

Enough to keep the drooling hordes of model engineers happy for a few more months

Yes, they are air bags. Credit where credit is due. The original guy (who left) who used to do the loading, and I always used to think that putting such bags in was a bad idea, because too costly, and we used to think that they would puncture easily. Both he (his name is also 'Mr.He' ) and I always used to prefer empty cardboard boxes to use as packing in between cases. After Mr.He left, loading was a bit 'crap'. There were a lot of emails and photos exchanged. Then these bags were introduced.

I and my team are really amazed at how good they are. Non have punctured so far, and they really do keep the stock well in place, especially in between large cases when they are stacked two high. On this occasion, I am happy to say that Mr.He and I were clearly proved wrong. Credit to the young lady who came up with the idea.

Just checked. These are on a vessel which is hopefully expected to arrive Felixstowe on 21st November this year. Provided all goes well, we hope to have these available in first week of December, this year.

There are so many shipping containers lost from ships that the air tight one’s are a shipping hazard as they usually float with the top at or just below the surface. I do wish that they would hurry up though I’ve finally persuaded the wife to buy me something descent for Christmas a milling machine anything is better than socks
