'What is the maximum speed of an RNLI lifeboat?'
The Shannon jet drive is the latest RNLI boat,
max speed 25 knots. I'm wrong ?

Nice job Bill, the port light in the photo does not look as bright as the starboard light, is it lit ? or is it the photo dulling it.

I am well aware that the USS Arizona is a designated war grave Doug, was making a point that the answer
should not have been USS Arizona.

I think you will find Doug, that these are not PLA printed, but 3D resin printed, ie the feeders need removing, with PLA printing, there aren't any feeders needed.

Very sad to hear Alice, of your dear partner Nerys
passing, I know Nerys was not in good health, but there is always hope that she would have survived
her last illness, I was hoping to meet you both last year at the Blackpool show, but that was not to be,
I send to you my deepest condolences, and hope that God watches over you and takes Nerys to a better place without her pain a suffering.
R.I.P Nerys
God bless you Alice.

Know the feeling well Colin, putting the water overflow pipe back into it's hanger on my motorhome, tried to get up, fell sideways onto the center of the road, and couldn't move, thank goodness no traffic, had to wait until my wife came and picked me up, just some scuffs and bruise's, but very embarrassed.😊

Very sad news to hear the passing of Martin 555, he was a major part of this website, and I know will be sadly missed by many members, still hard to accept after him posting on the site only a few weeks ago.

If you want to get your motor and propshaft aligned
perfectly, I suggest you purchase one of these
(link below).
They have various sizes to cover any motor/shaft variation, don't know what I would do without mine.
