Saving Old Seagulls

OK so my neck is all cricked up now ...
was looking for how you did that ...very neat
did you tap a fitting into the Century 102 outlet hole ? or just poke it in there ?

yup, agree with niander ...very pretty engine Bruce

given the absence of the fuel tank and throttle lever, I guess that must be the unique Aussie 'fuelled on air' conversion ??

Hmmm sounds interesting

just fine tuning the RBT-homing torpedoes

Contrary to public opinion...
it's not that I've got nothing to do and all day to do it .....my name isn't Charles ...nor am I particularly Large

BUT, having had an idle flick through...have you seen this on Ebay ?? item 250537130179

go on H-A ..treat yourself

I think I may well be ...what are the dates ? ..web link?

Cuh !!!!

these guys with no flair or originality ....just cut and paste off the web like that

Hmmm better be a bit careful ...still need my copper fuel lines

Oh OK there might have benn 1 or 2 Lysanders kicking about ,when not dropping off the post or other important jobs

Very tidy Bruce

I'm reliably led to believe ...and I have 2 ...that the wartime 102's were zinc plated for some reason ....but why ? paint has got to be cheaper ??
hence Hugz finding the non painted ones being p'raps moving on excess wartime production

love your faith in the human condition H-A ...but the last bag of bolts described as a very rare WW II seagull made £58 ..and it was truly rubbish

still ...might have had a better coil and gearbox than mine

Ooops.....

see H-A ..never in the SOE huh??
never dropped agents into hostile enemy territory ??
so that's how you've fallen for that proaganda about the Lysander

Ive seen this one too and fully concurr with Charles L about all the wrong bits ...is that what makes it rare perhaps ??? RBT ...I also bid for the Bishops Stortford one ...thought I was winning there but went away for the weekend ...missed it to end the matter on the Naval Gull question ..... for H...

single cyl diesel outboard??
just think of the right arm you'd need to start that !!!
We had a nasty evil malicious dumper on the farm all too willing to try to cripple you on the start up proceedure

Nooooooooooooo
not another duff coil ....can't be ???????????
this game is getting too expensive

exactly as I said brilliant seamanship .....& yes it can be true on occasion.... nudging into a full lock of Thames Gin Palaces, carrying the merest way possible, to gently kiss the side of the lock and nestle TeaBag into a tiny slot go to tie up forrard ...and the clunk-grunt as the SD wants to...

stripped down a 1956 SJM that was running badly didn't like full throttle...gulped and died repeatedly and didn't want to re-start took off magneto cover and points box cover to clean and re-set points ...left it 'naked' to try restart saw intermittent sparking across the points is this usual?? .......
