  13. Still a work in progress but I have now got a usable printed timing tool for the 1500. To make it involved learning how to use CAD software which was an interesting lockdown distraction. It took about 9 hours to print in total, I'm sure the printer settings can be tweaked a bit to reduce that, perhaps that'll be the next lockdown project.

  14. Indeed, no one questions that you are doing it 'right', but not many have your land-based facilities. Who was it, just a couple of days ago, who said they'd put the liquid in the hedge bottom and the part-composted solids in the bin ?

  27. I managed to persuade the boss to let me have a 4WD vehicle as a company car (well I needed it for launching the boat on the beach), Car delivered and as part of the sale I was given a 'one day course' on off-roading in an old quarry - amazing what it would do !!! Anyway the following week it snowed heavily roads blocked etc etc so I decided to visit one of our branches at Aldridge. The roads thru the industrial estate were compacted to ice but I kept going until I got to a hump-backed bridge over the canal - it was very 'polished' due to the number of cars that hadn't made it up but I got 'up and over' and then noticed a milk float sideways across the road with a couple of huge RSJ's on the back. It was going nowhere. I then slid sideways into the milk float and the RSJ went thru the rear door and across the rear seat. I didn't half get 'some stick' when I got back to the Manchester office "got a 4WD, trained how to drive it, 1st time a bit of snow and you crash it." Without studs nothing grips on ice !

  32. A giant swan would have made an excellent CaRT on the water employee. Checking boat licenses, mooring overstaying, anglers permits and slowing down speeding cyclists. Enforcement would come with a broken arm from a single wing blow. Much more effective. If the swan is hissing, your license is missing! Broken arm. What's the reason? You're fishing out of season!

  33. I've never seen a white back cabin range but some did come in vitreous enamelled finishes around the 1940's. There's currently a Belle on Ebay in grey, and in my restoration corner there's a Dover that was originally green and a tiny Bandera No1 in pale grey. The problem is the enamel suffers from corrosion quite easily and is very expensive to have refinished. There's only a couple of places in the country that do it and as the process involves grit blasting and heating to an extremely high temperature there's a good chance of breakages on fragile parts.

  34. It's not a new logo, though, is it? The big information signs at places like Foxton have the logo and the sweeping different blue colours -- and they've just used a bit of the shape rather than the logo on its own. Such as on the vans as above, or this downloadable map:

  41. Agree the rules with the crew. Close toilet lid and stand bottle of bloo on top. Go outside. Empty/exchange cassette. Inside. Prime cassette. Put bloo away. No risks ?.

  45. I would lay odds the white "smoke" from the exhaust is steam caused by condensation that has been absorbed into the bandage. If that was a cold start its good and it just sounds like typical diesel knock that may well scare someone used to petrol engines but its normal. I did see what looked like a wisp or two of fumes from what may be the dipstick hole (centre of engine and low down on image) but it cleared and did not appear again. I could see nothing to overly concern me about the engine but I can only go by that video. I would certainly take it on the Thames at its summer flow unless things are different when its hot and under load.

  48. We had already decided we would join the caravan club as their discounts on ferries and sites seem rather good and I'm sure we would save more than the membership cost each year. We are also looking at joining Britstop as well which will provide us with plenty of options for overnight stays.

  49. Thank you very much. That kind of knowledge-based information is exactly why I joined the page. My only experience of torque curves is mostly from motorcycles, where the requirements are more or less diametrically opposite. I also recall how better Spitfires and Hurricanes became at higher altitudes once variable pitch props were introduced , so it's a good job most boats with fixed-pitch props work at water-level.
