Not sure how effective they are Tmuir, I mean, it doesn't hold much oil

Well some of the earlier Mamods had them, but maybe were dropped to keep things simplier for children? or just not needed

MM you could fire it with a one or two wick Mamod burner. It would be great to see it go!

There's an even better one for propelling your arrow Odilon.

Yes please Sandman!

Can I assume that you have a spare Bowman marine engine that you are willing to sell to me?



Only joking!
