Bangers!

What's that mean?2/4th KOYLI...
By the way, for those of a techie disposition, we got the engine cover down off the mezzanine today so Rob could begin stripping it. It's a bit crusty though and it needn't have been.
Back in 2001 we pulled the lid off the boat to get at the mud and slop inside and by the following summer it was apparent that, now exposed to the air, the skins and formers of the upper covers were deteriorating at quite a rate. To counter this we set about the inside of the tail cover with a stainless wire brush to lift the corrosion product then etch primed the inside. The original blue paint on the outside lay on top of 1954 etch primer anyway from the days when you were allowed to make paint out of chemicals more dangerous than water and fresh air so that was OK.
But we were in league with the HLF by then and thought we'd best inform them (quietly hoping they'd understand the urgency of the situation and get their bureaucratic finger out - oh how naive was I). But instead, their museological fools simply forbade any similar interference with the engine cover on the grounds that we'd lose originality. Their party piece was to say that if we made a start (and that meant whatever they wanted it to mean) then this proved we didn't really need them so no grant would ever be forthcoming.
By 2006 when we parted company with them the damage was done and now we have to fix it. Bloody idiots!

Re: Technical Talk
Yes you got me.... i dont want to hijack this thread too much but will explain briefly.
2/4th refers to the battalion that he was attached to, this regiment / battalion was the one he transferred to after the Sicily campaign as he had been in hospital for so long he got moved.... the story goes that some of the boys in his regiment (Geordies) had decided to get some regiment related tattoo's however being simple folk they forgot to note down the spelling of the motto.... so i am sure you can imagine them telling the tattoo chap "Whey its S E D I.... Nullis"
anyways some time later they came back to the depot showing off tattoo's only to get severely japed by their pals having spelled it wrong not to mention the Regiment Sgt Major reaming them out for utter foolishness
the latin that i have put in the sig now is the motto from his first regiment 2nd Bat Royal Scots Fusiliers..... nemo me impune lacessit
folk are great !
