    Nice one Bob

    Here are some of my collection of motors.
    No electric motor can come close to the Rossi 60 with a tuned pipe running 20% nitro

    I do bench run some of mine every once in a while.

    Have a few more, will dig out and post pictures.

    In todays question both Nickel Ore and Bauxite (as per 2016 IMSBC Code) are definitely classed as Group A cargo. Both require a certificate of Transportable Moisture Limit.
    Therefore both are correct, t this question must be cancelled and a new one published.

    Having used a sextant I knew the answer. There was an obvious clue when the question referred to the index arm, only C refers to โ€œIndexโ€.

    At the same time German UBoats weโ€™re fitted medium calibre deck guns, this made them more efficient as they could surface and destroy unarmed smaller ships without wasting torpedoes.

    The only reason I knew this one was a few weeks back I was doing research for my Motorflote project that I am currently building. Saw a reference to a spud barge so I dug a bit deeper. Found spuds were poles as well as potatoes ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Lew, I had one of these years ago but sold it. Now that I am on pension and building boats again I have see a few on eBay but never managed to win one. Guess this one had my name on it.

    My company contracted to the Perishable Exports Control Board on the software development for the Container Fruit Terminal in Cape Town in South Africa. The Avos are transported over 1000 miles by road to Cape Town and then held in the CF Terminal till they are loaded onto porthole container ships. One tray of Avos is removed from each container and replaced with an environmental monitoring device to log the state during the voyage to Europe. This was one of the most interesting software projects I have ever been involved in.
