Welcome to SN Upwood,
I hope you enjoy the site and that you will be able to contribute to the knowledge, information and repartee. You will find an interesting crowd of people here from all walks of life but mainly seafarers. If you are referring to 1969 there is a film of it online here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/nationonfilm/to...und_rise.shtml. Also see this SN thread: http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=3693 Brian

Flying Scot on SAXONIA
Hello and welcome!
The Flying Scot was lifted onto the SAXONIA in Liverpool by the old floating crane MAMMOTH a 200ton capacity unit really designed for replacing damaged lock gates. She was replaced about 20 years ago I think by the MERSEY MAMMOTH which is still around. For your modelling, the old MAMMOTH can be seen in various photos on the web including a nice Meccano model made by someone. David Byrne

many thanks to all who have replied, I flew with coastal command in the 1950s and spent many hours out over the nth atlantic on shipping search-- didn't envy the seafarers when it was winter and rough!!
