I know where you are coming from, my own father does not even know how to use a computer or even know how to turn It on. That is OK If you can't do it.

I am happy for you to send It through mail,though at an expense though! sending things overseas cost money, so we can't do that. Maybe go to a friends house and get them to help you out? ;)

Aly Jones,Thanks for the reply all the way from Australia,I know what you mean about expense.Postal charges have gone up in the U.K. And that means N.Ireland,our Ulster postal charges go up as well as we are Royal Mail Postal services,I,m Sorry if I have insulted your intelligence about that but a lot of people do not know this,you can see me and address etc on the websites if you want to use this service.However will try and do something as you suggested.

Hello ShamelessAngel. Thanks for posting those fabulous pictures. Looks a bit scary standing under that propeller in the first picture. OK, I know it's not real but it still looks scary. I still cant understand why they have to have that brass looking bit on the wooden handrail. Still at least the paying public can see the grand staircase unlike the grandstaircase that has been built in the Belfast Titanic attraction. That one is not open to the public. Ken.

VW 1956, Aly Jones. Have looked at the site myself and it has been updated,that is the Titanic Heritage Trust,of Mr Howard Nelson.Of which I am an honorary Life Member,and also involved is the (TMG) The titanic Heritage Trust site has been updated but if you try the Titanic mMuseum Germany and go to links you might get it before that is altered or updated as well.At the moment I have not got any contact with these two people so will have to find out what is going on.So what has happened the info which i gave you is no longer valid,and on clicking on the site of Titanic heritage Trust no go.So just to remind you go to the tmg and click on links hope you get it before maybe it is changed .Pat

You are right! I didn't notice the brass handrail until you pointed it out! Perhaps safety regulations of today specify that they must have those handrails? It IS a very large museum with great numbers of people going up the staircase.

Hello ShamelessAngel.You are correct in that the brass handrail is there for safety but why do you need a hand rail next to a hand rail?. Also if you must have a hand rail right next to a hand rail then to make it look a bit more like the real thing why not have the extra handrail made out of the same colour wood as the original handrail then it would not notice so much. Ken.

This is true. Who knows, but I received a letter from them to thank me for driving 12 hours to attend their memorial. Enclosed were two complimentary tickets for a future visit and my father and I are going sometime close to Christmas, so I will ask them when I go.

HI Pat,

I'm really trying hard but I can not locate your photograph. There Is only 8 photographs on that site,and they are of deceased people that once were members of Titanic heritage trust site. I do believe you are a member and maybe non-members have limited viewing of Titanic heritage trust members photographs for safety reasons?
