Readers must be getting fed up with pictures of painted panels but I could not resist these two pictures.
They show panels 15 and 16 (out of 72), each half painted. These panels are on the east side of the tank ( the back of the tank when viewed from the station). As the gondola moves clockwise round the tower it reaches six panels at each positioning. The 9 foot gondola does not quite match up with the 4 foot panels so at times half panels are painted.
On these panels this results in stark before and after comparisons of the newly painted parts alongside the unprepared parts.
The first picture is of the lower panel and the second is of its neighbour above.
The upper panel had had some preliminary needle gunning but the lower one was, until now, out of reach.
The flaky old paint can be seen clearly.
