Some sad news lads, A catastrophic reactor leak upon take-off from Cambrige has resulted in me no longer being able to fly the Collingwood. Luckily the leak was contained and I was not affected, though the cost of a replacement reactor, plus some long over-due repairs that I just never got around to, have forced me to retire my long-serving percheron. Luckly, the insurance policy has paid off big time and I have managed to procure a replacement vessel from the brokerage at a very reasonable price. Sadly, this new 'firefly' isnt as pretty as the old perch, but the cats seem to like it and I suppose it'll grow on me.

One major improvement is the size of the hold, i'll be able to accept some more lucrative contracts now, and I have to say that the crew quarters are much roomier. I will be registering the new vessel as the Collingwood, I suppose it's only fitting that the name should carry through, i've just finished riveting on the name-plate an hour ago. Time to grab some champagne to send her on her way!

Anyway, I look forward to better times ahead.

Safe flying,
Bob Barker, Master of the (new and shiny) Bowex)Collingwood.
