Pussiewillow I

We now know where many of the photographs of HMS Pussiewillow I were taken. It appears that it stood for a while in the Marshal Field's State Street store in Chicago. It was part of a 'British Showcase' held in the store to mark the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in September 1977. The Featherstone Kite and the Exploratory Lunacycle were also on display but the Pussiewillow was supposed to be there for 'an indefinite period'.

We still have no idea what the eventual fate of this machine was but the possibility that it was rebuilt into Pussiewillow III is always there.
