Interiors are taking shape...

The  team have started constructing the framework for the new seating on board the new look Red Falcon, at least they aren't effected by the weather inside!!

Air conditioning anyone?

The main passenger areas in the new look Red Falcon will all be air conditioned making it a cosy and comfortable place to be in the winter or cool and refreshing in the summer!!

Today the first air con units started going in, here's some pics (please excuse the mess!);

The first wall drops in to place...

Once the wind had dropped this morning we were able to start getting some of the framework in place for the new passenger lounge at the Southampton end of the Red Falcon. 

Here are some pics from today;

The framework starts to take shape on the top deck.

The end of week 2!

The project team have made good progress with the Red Falcon over the last week despite the atrocious weather.

The top deck has been strip back and the new railings have been added.

The lounge is empty...

Work to remove fittings and floor coverings from the Red Falcon is making good progress. Once complete the team will be working on the ceiling/deck head panels next before they can completely transform the interior.

A clear top deck...

Work started earlier this week to completely strip back the whole of the current top passenger deck (Deck A) on the Red Falcon including removing the railings and all the fittings.

There goes the conservatory...

Work over the weekend also included demolishing the top deck conservatory and removing all the seating in preparation for a re-surface and the new air-conditioned lounge.

Top deck now minus a conservatory!
