The roof has started

[Heathrow Green]

I must admit that when I first saw them. I thought they were curved. Then I realised that it was just the lens curvature when I saw the beams being fitted.

On Webcam 3 it looks like they're assembling the roof sections ready for craning into position? :think:

Which is being discussed on the Webcam 3 thread. Sad isn't it.

Nothing whatsoever appears to be happening today.

Check this photo for what the roof will look like, it looks like the roof will cover approx. the back 6 rows of the Mayflower plus the disabled section.

I cannot see the bottom 9/10 rows of the seating being comfortable or popular, when it is piddling down with rain, but I feel it will look good!

You don't get that much more protection if those seats are 'covered' anyway though, unless the rain is pouring straight down or from the south.
