The Kenwood Chef Presentation
Open Day Photos
It is sad that there was a strong electrical storm that affected all the cameras. No footage has survived of the Red Arrows or the Band, none either of the unequalled mud wrestling fight with the girls.
It is also sad that the pictures of the large crowd was also lost.
We did manage to retrieve the photo of the day though, the Kenwood Chef presentation.
Open Day 2nd August 2008
The "Castawaydivers" open day at the secret quarry was a complete success with over a hundred members and associates turning up to offer there support. Many thanks to the Red Arrows and Fleckney Silver Band for a great display and performance. And a big thanks to Andy Nichols for the catering and to Bash for the outside bar.
The diving went well with at least another ten cars being located and what appears to be a 1940's Bedford truck. (like on the Thistlegorm) And also a lifting exercise took place to recover a Kenwood Chef.(unfortunately the bowl was missing)
The evening then came then came to an end with an cracking firework display at Stanford Hall. Many thanks to Vince for the complementary tickets.

Two more for the collection!
Trev and Dave with a little help from Vince and a dirty big crane retrieved two more cars on Monday evening.
Jim was there to lower the lifting straps down the shot while Tat did surface cover.

'On yer bike'
They've done it again.
Saturday 12th and Dave and Trev with Jim giving surface cover lifted yet another bike from 'The Quarry'.
They have also rigged two more cars for lifting.
There is a lot down there it's like 'Piggots' scrapyard , said Trev after the dive.
So any one need spares?

Wednesday 9th July 08
The boys were back in on Wednesday evening with Tat as surface cover and found a blockhouse style concrete shed sitting on a ledge at 5.5m and also discovered two more motorbikes one of which the frame was lifted and recovered to the surface.

Thursday 3rd July 2008
A major achievement was made by the "Castawaydivers" today by attaching lifting slings to a 4x4 car at a depth of 27m in near to zero visibility. Once Trev and Dave were clear of the water the lift began and all went smoothly to reveal a green Vauxhall Frontera.
Recovery Success
