What a fantastic picture and superb resolution as well.
the more I look at this door the more interesting it gets, for something that might look ‘like all the others’ at a glance, it’s got so many different Tann features up close.
cant say I’ve seen a door with a stepped flange and double row of bolts on the base of the pressure housing gearbox before.
Also the combination dial and bezel raised out on the extension tube to get it clear of the hinge- gotta love that. Anyone notice the cut-out in the flange below the pressure mech where they put provision for the second combo lock but hadn’t fitted it?
The shape of the crane hinge carriages, the hinge pivots mounted on the door and frame, the capstan handles, the chunky watertight escutcheons and even the segmented cladding are all that bit different to normal.
what a treat to finally see the detail on such a fantastic British door that’s been so elusive for all those years. I’m sure you’ll have made a lot of others happy as well as me, so a BIG thanks again to safeman 🙁y):
