This is the Excel Marina near the exhibition centre. Moving my way back through East London now towards City Airport.
Was hoping to get up on the bridge/walk-way to get shots of Docklands and the O2, but it was shut... I kind of expected it to be. This was my back-up shot and I think it come out quite well.
Its a 10 shot image (2x5) - so quite a few less than the last, which was kinder on my laptop. :)
I tried another from the other side, but I think the repetition in the image is confusing Photoshop's Photomerge function because it's not coming out very well at all. Maybe need to try another program.

R420HWU Optare Excel B26D New June 1998 to Travel London, seen here with WM Travel in Wolverhampton 17 Aug 2009.
Not the prettiest, but its a working prototype, which will have to be modified again as we are now going to have 2 air outlet vents and not the single one
The new Rover gearbox still attached to the engine, compared with the Toyota Supra 5 speed box.
For installation purposes, we need to have the gear lever position as close to the front of the engine, so that it does not fowl the backbone chassis. (18)
A chart mapping each team's failures to qualify for the postseason over the league's 17-year history.
Fitting the Toyota heater has been a real challenge. But, we got there I the end - here we can see (in white sheet plastic) the fabrication which will take the air from the heater to the middle of the dashboard
The Excel livery most definitely suits the autumn season, the colour almost matching the gold leaves which are beautifully seen on the trees in Phoenix Way, Village Quarter, Portishead.

Although less than 1000 pieces, I bought this puzzle as the picture and printing on the box reminded me of some of the Arrow puzzles.
Assembly was straightforward and after sorting a couple of hours saw this one to completion.
The initial sort was into four groups: land and sky, water, boats, and edge pieces.
Starting with the horizon, then filling out the remainder, built the "above water" section first.
Next came the boats, then the water section in the middle to join everything together. It was at this point that I realised there would most likely be a piece missing, despite a couple of tick marks on the box.
Finished off by putting the edge pieces in place. Oddly enough possibly a little more difficult than had I assembled them at the beginning to produce an empty frame.
1 piece missing :-(
Haven't seen or heard of the Excel brand previously, but as above the overall quality would be similar to the Arrow jigsaws of that vintage. The copyright statement is for Mauriane Trading Pty. Ltd. Melbourne Australia.
In a possibly vain attempt to try and complete jigsaw puzzles faster than I buy them, I'll note the number of puzzles and pieces waiting to be completed.
TO DO: 37 puzzles (48900 nominal pieces).
