Excellent, at least you can get about and not be stuck in the near neighbourhood.

I remember building the fire , anything that burnt, in the furnace & in winter, Rosyth, one in the uptakes. Using the hand pump for the diesel was a bit of a chore, or did we pump FFO through the W tube poked in the fire?

I know, a bit of an odd request, but here goes. Has anyone got a copy of a picture I had from the old web site of two matelots doing the dance of "The flaming arse holes". I printed off a copy which has mysteriously disappeared , I would relish another copy, just to remind me how it was.

Not too confident about that Ivor ... as far as I have managed to ascertain the Archived WNSF is without a search feature and has a fairly rudimentary index. However the Aussies have included two photo's here

Might be of some use to Keith
