That's a great link Renfrew, what a great idea to get the hot water from the drum.
Haven't heard the term QED since I worked at Mascot airport in the 60's, a Bristol pilot named Lionel VanPragg used it fairly often. He flew lobsters from Launceston to Mascot overnight and would come in the flight planning office after landing with a hessian bag full of them for the office. Sorry for going OT.
Were they dual, or single seat c o c k p i t lobsters Denis?
I think if they escaped the pilot would have bailed out. This Lionel VanPraag used to race speedway cars before the war, then was a pilot up to the 60's...had a scarred and battered face and always wore a leather flying jacket and was one tough dude. To an impressionable teenage kid like me he was God.
Hako...........don't worry Troopy is taking the p*** out of your lobster comment........when I read your 1st post I was going to reply with the same smarty comment, but Troopy beat me to it.
Lionel can drop them off to me anytime - a hessian bag - gezz - almost the limit for a commercial fisherman nowdays lol

No problems! By the way, the Bristol was always chockers full of lobsters/crayfish for the Sydney Markets and back then they were only about 3 times the price per lb of prawns. Not sure how the salt water draining from the bags affected the aluminium body of the Bristol but as always "she'll be right".
