We ❤️ this story of how a young boatbuilder is using tradtional skills to make a living for himself and his family here in Orkney. It's one of a series of short films produced for the New Connections Across the Northern Isles virtual museum, which is being launched here this weekend, alongside an exhibition in the Orkney Museum. The project aims to link people and heritage through the maritime cultures of Orkney and Shetland. Check out the virtual museum https://irc.hw.ac.uk/new-connections.html

That feat was achieved in a biplane by Edwin Dunning in the Flow in 1917, onboard HMS Furious. The technology has certainly changed since then! | orkney.com | Facebook
