Whilst much of №134's restoration is being conducted by volunteers there are a number of jobs where external help will be sought. This is either because of the magnitude of the task, the specialist equipment needed or simply because funding is available to pay for professional expertise as it will help speed up the restoration. Some of these 'contracted' jobs are quite small and blend into the activities of the volunteer team. Others however, fall into the 'large' category and one such example is the construction of the tender tank body.  

This section will cover the larger contracted items as they become an active project within the overall restoration project. They're covered in the separate pages as shown above.
