    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Petel
    Not fitted to the Kelvin engine, you know-nothing numpty.

    Mined ewe, I'd want a *very* careful look at the recirculating
    gearchange. Some of them had a bit of a reputation for dropping straight
    out of twelfth (forward) to third (reverse) if the pump failed, with
    "hilarious consequences".

    It was all down to the redesign to beat the infamous Afghani import
    restrictions of '34,which were dropped in '35, too late for the factory
    to revert to the original Higgins design. Tragic really. Higgins was
    reputed to have been killed in just such an incident en route for Beachy
    Head, where he intended to throw himself off in protest at the board's
    decision.

    It was all hushed up, of course.
