Grasshopper Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well done sir. Your good fortune seems to be rubing off on our CVRT, as it worked all week and is still working. Trouble is, I'll have to service it now, as it's actually done some dirving since the engine/gearbox reuild last year. Thank you for sharing your fine whisky with my good lady and i on Saturday. Will have to add Bushmills to the list of "whiskys i like". Anytime you require further help/advice/support/piss-taking, feel free to ask. I can only say no... How about a picture of your fine machine with the screens up (or is that on another thread?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Whisky is made for sharing glad you liked it. I hope my luck/influence/witchcraft continues to work on your Spartan rather than your bad luck/incompetence/voodoo curse rubs off on my Spartan. This is one photo of the beast with erect screen more to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 That would be pre-cleaning. Nigel found a rather excellent decontamination set, which consisted of a stirrup pump, various brushes and a pole set. He then set about cleaning X years worth of mud from the inside and outside of the floatation screens, while I worked the stirrup pump (for about an hour!)

Grasshopper Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 A-ha, the cleaned and (quickly) raised version. Looks like a tracked perambulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 A-ha, the cleaned and (quickly) raised version. Looks like a tracked perambulator. Yes but you must admit it has the presence of a high quality perambulator, the sort pushed around by posh nannies, not a cheap and nasty Chinese knock off. Next time we erect it maybe you would oblige by wearing a large bonnet, nappy and suck a dummy:evil:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Funny you should talk about this. When I married, my new wife discovered that as a CVR(T) crewman, my normal working dress was a green Baby-Gro. The oil and grease she had to wash out was rather different from what she then found herslef washing out of the children's Baby-Gros. She still refers to overalls as Baby-Gros.
