‘The Caravelle is stylish, comfortable and safe,’ said Barlow at the time.

Take That: "We are not splitting"
Despite rumours of solo projects, the band are committed to continuing their all-conquering pop rule as a foursome.
And in the latest move, the lads' stunning new single Said it All is out this week.
Gary Barlow confirmed to me: "We will take a break after the tour then start writing again for the next album in autumn. It would be stupid to stop now wouldn't it? I'm feeling so vibed up. I haven't started writing yet, but we've got ideas."
The humongous stadium shows are the most elaborate the manband have put on.
Yet they're fi nding bigger is most definitely better. Gary, pictured above right on stage, continued: "This is the most relaxed tour we've ever done because of how the dates fall.
"We usually do something like 10 nights back to back. But it is more spaced out, which is nice."
As well as cooking up new songs, Gary is also considering adding to the Barlow household.
His wife Dawn, 39, gave birth to daughter Daisy in January.
And the 38-year-old revealed: "Dawn wants to have another baby.
"I'm happy with three but what the woman wants, the woman usually gets. The first two are a bit older now and take care of themselves, but Dawn is really enjoying Daisy."
Eight-year-old Daniel, and six-year-old Emily will pop along to see dad Gary in action on the live tour whenever they can.
As Gary explained: "We can't take them out of school as we get told off."

Take That Circus is rolling into town..and there was never a chance of Robbie Williams being involved, says Howard Donald
BOY-BAND hysteria will hit Scotland when Britain's favourite pop act roll into town for the first of a hat-trick of shows at Glasgow's Hampden Stadium tomorrow night - but there will be no sign of the band's old mate Robbie Williams.
The Let Me EntertainYou singer has been told to forget all talk of a reunion and to knuckle down on finishing his own solo album.
And his former bandmate, Howard Donald, insists Robbie has given up on all hope of rejoining his old band and knows he will have to rekindle his own career without them.
Drawing a line under the Robbie rumours once and for all, Howard claimed that it was never really on the cards for Robbie to join the band.
"There has been all sorts of talk in the newspapers, but that's all it was," Howard insisted. "We know between us that he is a good friend. We respect that he is making an album and he respects our career, but everything is great."
The solo star's career had hit the doldrums in recent years and Robbie knows only too well that he would have benefited by association had he been given the chance to go onstage with Take That on any of their tour dates. It would have given him a captive audience of 1.2 million fans and would have been an enormous publicity coup.
But, as well as giving up on the idea, Howard says Robbie has finally come to respect his old band and has been told to buckle down and record a new solo album for release in
October - giving him time to cash in on the lucrative Christmas market.
"Robbie has got his own career," Howard added. "We think he has an album coming out at the end of this year and we have this tour to concentrate on. There has been no time to see Robbie because we spent a very busy time in rehearsals and in dress rehearsals leading up to the show.We were getting the show together because we wanted it to be perfect for the fans."
The lads are playing not not one but three sell-out shows at Scotland's national stadium and Howard admits he is blown away by the level of success Take That have achieved.
"It really is incredible," he said. "To be honest with you, I lost track of how many shows we were playing in Scotland and when I saw that we were going to be in Hampden Stadium for three shows it really hit home to me just how great the fans in Scotland really are.
"It is quite unbelievable really to be playing three shows in the same stadium in Scotland in the one weekend. I have to pinch myself sometimes because it is hard to come to terms with the fact that we are even able to play stadiums. It's unbelievable."
Take That's biggest tour has seen Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen deliver one of the most elaborate pop shows ever seen.
"We can't wait to get on that stage at Hampden," Jason agreed. "I just can't wait. It's going to be brilliant. It's the biggest tour we have ever done. It's a wonderful honour."
Fresh from Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, the lads hope to dazzle fans with their Circusthemed shows, which will see them performing acrobatic tricks and riding unicycles and include a huge hot-air balloon centre-stage, a giant circus tent, a high-wire, trapeze, and clowns handing out balloons.
The four-piece will dazzle on a £10million stage at Hampden, performing acrobatic tricks, in keeping with their latest chart-topping album, also called Circus.
And to make sure all their fans are catered for, whether young or old, Take That will be performing a selection of songs spanning their entire career - going as far back as their early 1990s hits to their most recent hit single, Said It All.
Fans of the band, which reformed in 2006, will arrive in their droves to catch their idols and support acts Gary Go and The Saturdays.
The fastest-selling show in UK pop music history boasts jugglers, trapeze artists and tight-rope walkers - and a set list including Take That classics, A Million Love Songs, Could it be Magic? and Shine.
A giant mechanical elephant and a 10.4mhigh puppet ringmaster sounds like the sort of stuff we might expect from Pink Floyd but not from a boy band, but Mark admits the band were determined to give their fans value for money.
"It's a big show, the biggest we have done," the 37-year old said: We think we've got a good set list and got the balance right."
At the start of the show, the stage will open up like the petals of a flower with the four members of Take That slowly rising up on a platform that gradually reveals itself to be balanced on top of the giant, 7.6m-tall mechanical elephant.
Then a section of the circular stage swings away and the elephant performs a full turn, blows some water from its trunk and begins to move.
The show was conceived by stage designer Es Devlin but it is down to Brilliant Stages project manager Clay Brock to make it happen. Brock, who has designed stage sets for Metallica, assembled a team of specialists, including structural engineers.
"The set designer dreams up these crazy ideas and has no idea how they're going to work," he admitted. "My job is to make sure we get it done on time and on budget with design intent. They wanted a puppet that leans forwards, holds out its hands and goes 'boo'. That was our creative direction."
"We had to do this earthquake scene for Metallica, where two pylons had to crash to the ground in two seconds," says engineer Andy Edwards of 3D Design, one of the specialists on the project. "Nobody else would touch it. It was a nightmare to do but we made it work.You do it on the basis of a gut feeling - you can do all the calculations, but you don't know if it will work until you try it."
The ringmaster puppet is constructed from five scissor lifts stacked one above the other. The one below the head has a cantilevered platform for the band to stand on. The scissor lifts are clothed with a body made from aluminium hoops joined with fabric that unfold as the puppet extends, like a jack-in-the-box.
After Sunday's third Hampden Stadium show, the entire set will take 37 hours to dismantle for the next show.
Howard said: "I think in the old days, when we are talking about the early 1990s tours, we danced and pranced around to choreography for every song. And we drank so much water onstage because of how much we were dancing and how much younger we were.
Now the whole show has been designed for a stadium tour which means everything needs to be much bigger and we need many more people and a bigger cast to make sure the stage doesn't look empty."

Tour Reviews (5 de junho) por crazychick77
I went to both shows at Sunderland but will review the 5th in here... I thought the show was fantastic and well organised, the stewards and security were very good despite the complaints I've heard on here. I think every stadium is the same, they aren't used to coping with a massive influx of people. On match days the pitch is occupied by footballers only so I think they did a good job and were very helpful. There are always gonna be people who moan and complaint but nothing is perfect..
Anyways back to the show, it was amazing, Take That were in fine voice. We opted for an allocated seat because I was at work all day. The start was brilliant, I didn't know where to look there was sooooo much going on. The music had me getting goosebumps up my arms, it was amazing. They couldn't of started the show off with a better song than Greatest Day because let's face it, the first night of the tour is THE GREATEST DAY! The elephant during The Garden was fanstastic and was greeted by the growd with cheers and screams, it was fantastic and mesmerising (not spelt right - sorry!). I just couldn't take my eyes off it.
It was good to see the Band used the B stage loads as everybody in the stadium then had a good view of them. In most concerts if your past the middle of the arena or stadium you can only see ants on the stage.
Gary was in fine voice and I loved his medley of love aint here anymore, Babe and nobody else, nobody else moved me to tears because I was so full of emotion. I love the words to that song and it hear if played so beautifully was lovely...
The Take That and Party medley including Do What you like had me screaming and dancing and doing the old dances. It had that comedy factor added to the show. And just to correct reviews in the Sunderland Echo, they weren't military precision jacks, they were Circus Ring Master jackets and Mark didn't fall flat on his face and fall off his bike... Promises was amazing and I loved how the boys kept their original dance moves, I couldn't stop still. The original Thatters from 1990's stood out a mile putting our hands up in the air and thrusting our hips on Do What you Like! People behind me asked when did they release that song.. I laughed and said 1990's!! Take That and Party had to be the highlight of the show for me, I just love that song and it brings back so many memories.
Never Forget and Relight my Fire never Fail to take my breath away and to see the stadium full of people holding their hands up and clapping was just an awsome sight.
Throughout the whole show, I just didn't know where to look.. Full of fire eaters, trapeeze artists, jugglers tap dancers, trampolines!! Amazing.
They aren't just a band, they are showmen and I defy anyone anyone who doesn't go to a Take That show and have a fantastic time!
It was an honour to watch them in my home town. Thank you for making my year!
