I still have a traction engine and twin cylinder plant, a little ( well a lot ) dusty,maybe it’s time for a refurb.

Tomorrow (Wed 2nd) 9.00 p.m., BBC4, The Hunt for Lady Olive and the German Submarine. Could be interesting since it appears to have (almost ) been a textbook Q Ship action.

Thanks Tony, it was an excellent documentary, well worth watching.

Cheers Tony,
There were a couple of general Q ship points that could have been added to the back story. Queenstown (now Cobh) was rife with German sympathy so secrecy, sailing dates etc. was very marginal and the fact that RN Regs meant that the Germans had to shoot first and we couldn't respond until the Red/White Ensign was flown.
