I went to a small country show today and took my moggy and some engines, there was'nt much to film so it gave me a chance to try out the plane (went well), the new fleischmann needs a bit of work (another winter project) and as for the new steam launch,
I by- passed the split boiler and ran it on compressed air and the good news is that the piston, propshaft and prop went like the clappers, so all i need is to replace the boiler, tidy her up ready for the water

Great to see the L4 performing! Looks to be a nice quiet affair, love the Austin A40 behind - the first car I ever travelled in as a kid.

Just spotted the name 'Hamble' on the vid. That explains the boats, are they on the Hamble river?
