The bach has landed

You've seen the flying thresher and tractor, yesterday they hoisted a bach (holiday house) into the main exhibition space. It is one of the first prototypes of the port-a-bach and was built in the 1970's (I think) out of a shipping container - that's why it doesn't look like much here. But when it's all back together and opened up it has everything you need including kitchen, sleeping space and one of the sides drops down to form a deck. It had to have it's top taken off to fit through our loading bay, which it did with only millimeters to spare, one reason why I just couldn't watch the whole process, the other being that it took 5 hours. So here are some photos from the start of the process.
Arriving - if you look closely you can see the wall units inside
Up she goes
A tight squeeze - museum on the right, security fence on the left.
