A team of puffer enthusiasts battles to save the rusty, corroded VIC 27 from the scrap heap. On her rusty bow she bears the name Vital Spark, a throwback to her glory days as star of the BBC's 1994 series The Para Handy Tales. The team members look on nervously as she's carefully winched up the purpose built slipway. This is the first time in almost 30 years she's been out of the water, and at last they can assess the condition of her hull prior to ferrying her by canal to Crinan where her restoration begins.
