Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day

I do love a Deltic! I had them on HMS Atherstone. Brilliant noise when they started up or more power was called for. Incredibly smooth but had a tendancy to cover the upper deck in soot! I think they are gradually being phased out in the RN with Cat engines.

I read that the Rolls weighed over 3.5 tonnes which coupled with the weight of the trailer would have put it well over the towing capacity of the P38. Expensive mistake to make (unless he is well insured).

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
