Hi Guy's..

Yup.. that's the correct postcode ;-)

I've since learned that the boys tried to motor all 4 engines over on Saturday and while #1 took some electrical load, it failed to turn. Could be the starter motor.. could be the brushes have either worn or decided to hang. This, unfortunately, is a consequence of them not being run enough :-( I've suggested that to run the other 3 would still be a good idea but without fire cover.. we're stumped. We have a new fireman who is more than willing to make himself available for motor-overs but he threw his Ducati down the road a couple of weeks ago and will be absent for a few more weeks yet :-(

Deary me.. so close and yet so far Damn.. damn.. DAMN :@

Hey Dave

Perhaps you could use 'DG to blow the props 'round :roll:

Well mate.. DG is missing 4 vital components to make that happen. I'm sure you can guess what they are :think: I'm sure that A4O would do a better job as we sit almost directly behind her ;-)

It's a REAL wind up it is. There are Three Hundred and Sixty Five days in a year and we manage to run the engines twice.. on one day. Fire cover.. what fire cover! :roll:

Why is it that everything has to be so hard nowadays

There are just too many tick boxes on the modern forms and it is becoming impossible to live with :@
