Re: Nice old video
A nice snapshot of life here in 1960, there are still 'end of the pier' type speedboats, as seen here, running out of Looe - or at least there were in 2009 when I was there.
A nice old seaplane tender shows a a couple of times as well.

Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!
