RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - wirralbus - 15/06/2013 16:07 Think we can say with this being the second sinking of one of these Ducks that VOSA will want another look if they are ever to set foot in water again. Sky Sports have just shown a pic and the only part left showing is the rear sticking up.

Surely curtains for the Duckmarine tour now.

RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - J654UHN - 16/06/2013 01:22 I think that will be the end of them i hate to say. 5th incident now RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - wirralbus - 16/06/2013 01:50 The sheer fact that it made the national news not just the local news will really spell the end , it puts into question the operation of this type of vehicle in other parts of the world as well. RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - M60lad - 16/06/2013 06:23 Apprantly according to the Liverpool Echo it was Wacker Quacker 1 which sunk yesterday and was the same Duckmarine that the Queen travelled on on her visit to Liverpool last year, apparantly its been retrieved from the Mersey and is being stored in a secure location while its examined to find out what went wrong RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - J654UHN - 16/06/2013 10:28 It wasn't in the Mersey it was Salthouse Dock. It was recovered last night onto a low loader. This was number 1 which is one of the 2 original dukws RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - J654UHN - 18/06/2013 11:15 Pearlwind have released an image today of a tyre wrapped around the prop and blame that for the sinking as it caused damage to the hull RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - wirralbus - 18/06/2013 11:46 (18/06/2013 11:15)J654UHN Wrote: Pearlwind have released an image today of a tyre wrapped around the prop and blame that for the sinking as it caused damage to the hull That still means something was wrong for the tyre to get round the prop in the first place . Liverpool Mayor seems to have been saying that he thinks that the company shouldnt be operating again unless they use newer equipment . RE: The Yellow Duckmarine - J654UHN - 18/06/2013 11:51 Will of been picked up from the dock WB. All kinds under the water thats why the dont like people jumping in |
