Yeah, Dad worked on Pielstick engines on a RORO ferry in NZ here. V.noisy high pitched motors - I recall being taken down the ER and having to wear ear muffs. What ships were you on that ran them?
Widdups were made in Yorkshire and were put in trawlers and small cargo vessels. The old man said they were prone to breakdowns, but, so were his polar engines - I recall him being called out to breakdowns on them all over Scotland and as far away as Iceland to fix them.
