(By the by thanks for your recent MP article which I enjoyed. It was always said that failure to licence was Doxford's downfall it is interesting to note that that was a course change from earlier and lucrative licensings).

Willie Monro has posted some of the Denholm Newsletters recently on SN which cover the introduction and progress of Morar. One can plot the initial great enthusiasm, industry wide as well as company. So far all the reports subsequent to her delivery have, if not highlighted then at least mentioned, engine troubles. In the most recent to have reached the site we are informed that the new gasifiers are ready for fitting.
