Hi again, expanding / zooming this photo, it looks like the door is almost in the middle at the back of the bridge.

There doesn't seem to be an obvious external bridge door.

Hello Dave

You could try contacting the company and asking them for photos / designs LINK .

Or if you live close enough you could visit the ship and undertake your own photo survey.

Try asking on either of these two sites david……………. someone will have the definitive answer…. https://www.facebook.com/modelmacbrayne/?ref=ts&fref=ts or https://www.calmac.co.uk/fleet http://www.shipsofcalmac.co.uk/gallery/​ that should keep you happy for a while.

Maybe bridge access is internal only, except for some sort of emergency exit. I have looked at the photos again and can't see an obvious door. It it is anywhere, it must be at the back but that doesn't seem to lead anywhere much.

IT'S AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACES GUYS……………NOT HAVING STUDIED THE PIC OT THE BOAT BEFORE……….asked my daughter…….at the aft quarter of the bridge wheelhouse you'll find a tall rectangular "window" on an angle…….that and the corresponding one on the starboard side are the two access doors to the wheelhouse……the strange looking blob on the front of the door is in fact an epirb holder fixed to the hand rails and stanchions.

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Yes, looks like you are right Neil, the photos distort the perspective. That is where one would expect the doors to be.

[BanjomanParticipant @banjoman]

I, too, think that Neil is absolutely right as far as the port side is concerned; however, when I look at the three photos to which Colin linked above, for my part I cannot see anything that looks like a corresponding structure on the starboard quarter of the wheelhouse, and would thus be inclined to think that there is only one such external access door, not two … or am I missing summat too obvious for me to spot?!
