    Jenny Wren is not one of the London Waterbus Co.Fleet, you don"t want to upset Maggie. Phone 020874854433 and complain direct to them.

    Posted this last week, thought it would have had more of a reaction. Been on their maps for the last 25years.

    Very nicely done.

    I would want paying that much just to put it in my shed

    I assume the Lister is solid mounted?, if you are having a new shaft, why not have A. a R&D isolating coupling or B. just a standard 1/2 coupling and have the engine aligned to suit.

    I wondered how long it would be before anyone else mentioned him, after working for him on Jupiter and Saturn in 1962 and the crane, i am having nightmares about how much has changed, when you could buy a Josher with blonder for £30:00.

    I did the boating when not filming, here we are at Ducie Street about to go down the Rochdale in Manchester, the Ship Canal was the best bit, and yes there were 2 steps. Sheps

    I drilled down the handle of mine and inserted a steel pin, magnet picks it up a treat, much to everyones surprise.

    The one that I worked with in "Saturn"( it was mounted central) picked water up at the front and the paddle wheel driven inside a metal housing powered by a ford petrol engine forced it out the back, no wash silent when steering, Magic!. I belief they where manufactured for lifeboats, no prop shaft or prop to worry about.

    When I worked for Willow Wren in 1964, 1 hour 40 mins was the norm with a crew of two.

    The boats there are all squatting, they have cut a hole in the metal railing to get access to the roadway, I know this because I worked off that site, we were using it for loading hoppers from and we had to erect a access over the railings.

    I thought the Python was the poor man's Aqua Drive.

    The prop is a 4 bladed one, the rivets are holding the blade behind the bulkhead together.

    Had all these left over, including prop, when I tried to convert my boat to a "Hudson".
