Re: Nice retirement present for yourself
My thoughts as well John, after the war they sold Motor torpedo boats that had two rolls Royce engines, the customs couldn't catch them when smuggling mainly cigarettes, I believe they later took out one engine before the sales. These days they will be able to follow the Vapours trails the new cigarettes leave LoL.
