As you may know Clinton bought my Mamod bible a while ago - I promised him I'd buy a nice steam whistle for my boat with the proceeds.
So ladies a gentlemen.....I give you the "Clinton Taylor Memorial Whistle" as fitted to the boiler on my craft "Festina Lente".....bought it from PPS....ain't it gorgeous? I've not steamed it yet, but on the airline it sounds great, a really powerful "toot" rather than the pathetic spluttering we're all used to from our toy whistles.

Excellent title for an excellent whistle Odilon.
The Clinton Taylor memorial whistle will make our Clinton immortal.
Rightly so.
