Jack Straw's Falmer Watch No. 74a (3/6/10). Arch Special.

[Jack Straw]

I got the nod that the arch was "In the air".
I had no option but to zoom up to Falmer with my now famous step-ladder.
Everest was already in position with his cam corder, camera, mobile phone and all sorts of electronic gadgetry.
The sky was the most amazing shade of blue, lending itself to enhance the white middle section of arch, which now sits proudly on the temporary supports.
Hopefully, all "flange" problems have been ironed out this time!
3 lots of 5 coming up.

Oi, that's me!

Fantastic sight again.
And these photos are pretty damn good too.
(I had to have a Tesco bag)

If you'd stayed a few extra minutes you would have seen touchdown.

Damn exciting stuff, get pics

I will have my arch pictures up on Saturday morning from inside the ground. No doubt Everest will treat you will some pics tomorrow afternoon

Is the arch staying at that height as it seems quite low

Those blokes standing on top of those steel towers - and how did they get up there? When? Do they have their LUNCH up there? Where do they go to the TOILET? - anyway: best job in the world that is.

It also must be exciting for the builders............that is a massive erection....small wonder a lot of them are taking pictures and viewing from the "terraces", is that Natterjack having a perv

I was thinking just that myself. Maybe it's just the angle?

To be fair, if you're sat on the top tier there's not much to be gained by being able to see straight ahead I wouldn't have thought.

Well I can't see any Flange !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the West Stand roof slopes down a bit, whereas the East stand roof slopes up. This is so they can join and meet in the middle.

How strong is that guy balancing the arch on his head?

Jack, you are a legend! Fantastic pics!
