RLWP Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) WOMEN RUN A BOAT: LIFE ON BOARD THE CANAL BARGE 'HEATHER BELL', 1942. © IWM (D 7654)IWM Non Commercial Licence Heather Bell at war Martin, we bought Peter Thompson's Marine Engine services, so we are very familiar with Listers The JP as an industrial unit is simpler that the JP2M. The M has the flywheel at the opposite end to the Blackstone gearbox, and has a water cooled exhaust manifold. That's what the whacking great drum thing is at the far end of your illustration Richard Edited June 23, 2017 by RLWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildAero Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Richard, we have copies of the originals of all those photos which were used in a magazine for Americans in England, called just "Illustrated". Nice to see that again. I have no idea what the guy did with the boat. He won't answer emails or phone calls and I'm no longer in touch with our contacts from those days. Peter Thompson....was he the guy with the nice building at Braunston? Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
