Switch off the 'bine and let V3 decide…
Boo. Looks like my turbine has a faulty circuit, and may have to be sent beack to the manufacturer. V3 came and took it away yesterday and I await the verdict. Where’s that Quantum Mechanic when you need one?
In the meantime, here’s a pic of Mayor Jimmy Robinson at the launch.
The future is certainly not without its teething problems!
I’m trying to guess what they’re all looking at…
A really, REALLY large bottle of champagne to break across the hull?
A Red Arrows fly-by, complete with sky writing?
The turbine prop, spinning off into the heavens?
The world’s tallest brass band (conducted here by the Mayor)?
Congratulations on the launch… and a speedy revival of your wind power!
I wish he would have dressed up a little. This is quite an event and he is the mayor. He needs to come in something more than his “trimming the lawn” clothes.
the thing about the Quantum Mechanic is that while you can be sure he’s on his way, you can’t be certain where he is when he gets there.
I see the Great British Dentistry is alive and well.
Reading about all the problems with the turbine, I can’t help but have the Ultravox song “All stood still” in my head:
The lights went out
(the last fuse blew)
The clocks all stopped
(it can’t be true)
The turbine cracked up
The buildings (Boat’s just) froze up
The system choked up
What can we do?
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
What was the final word on your turbine? Blown circuit?
Any chance your running BioD in that lovely craft?
