My dad and Archimedes

There are now three Archimedes Screws in Shoreham, supporting a new development planned for near the airport. This was the last project my dad worked on, it was big and complicated enough to help not think too much about shitty cancer.

Anyway, these were his idea and now they are built. We had a lovely guided tour from his team who wanted to show them to us, it’s been a few years since I’ve listened to an excited and absorbed engineer explaining stuff. Then we looked at the lovely plaque they had put up and talked a bit about how much we had liked him. The fact they put the plaque up where it got the sun made me want to cry a little bit.
