Nice stuff, Jubilees can be noisy beggers even light engine backwards! It doesn't matter in the big scheme of things and owners prerogative and all that but the fact that she seems to rarely ever run as 45699 Galatea these days just gets...

It is interesting that the Bluebell's annual report, as summarised by @Alistair in the Bluebell thread, seem to confirm @Lineisclear's assertion that there is an industry-wide problem, but that same report shows that the Bluebell's management...
