@MrJamesMay Wasn't there an issue with crashes with the early Griffon engined Spits as the prop rotated in the other direction to the Merlin?

Spitfires became progressively less pretty from the prototype onwards.

April 1942. First flight of the first Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered Spitfire prototype, Mk XII DP845 (a converted Mk.IV). The Griffon II had a single-stage two-speed supercharger, producing 1,735 hp. The airframe strengthened for the engine’s increased power and torque.

So that's how Brian and I missed out on a Number 1 best seller. And why "The Deltics: a symposium" went into a second revised edition!
English
I have often wondered why "HSTs at work", which I co-authored with the late Brian Perren, was not an international best seller.
Current books provide the explanation - our title lacked the vital colon. Here's an example from today's paper.

@ArianeSherine You know you're really ill if you can't make bad jokes like that.

My Facebook troll said my Substack subscribers were ‘coughing up for public debasement’.
Well, I don’t care if they’ve coughing up for de-basement, de-attic or de-under-stairs cupboard as long as they love my blog.

@ArianeSherine I had a huge hayfever outburst in a mezzanine once. Boy was it a massive attack.

@Captain_Deltic @CcibChris Wouldn't it have been great if they'd built the HP.111 airliner version.

@VictoriaCoren I'd blame the infrastructure. If only the exchange had Strowger switches.

Winter Wonderland is great this year, but I must say there’s a terrible wait to use the phone.

@Se_Railway heads up, the accessible toilet in the Ramsgate section on the 16:10 VIC-DVP/RAM has no water. Coach number 79071.

Thinking of buying a black or red PVC bodysuit for my music videos. I am highly amused by the Amazon listing: 'Season: Spring, Autumn, Summer and... er... the one we've forgotten!'

@MrTimDunn Would be hilarious if it was next to a branch of French Connection.

@Captain_Deltic what other F1 tech could the railways import I wonder? KERS? Pit stops? Packaging and cooling a small but powerful engine?

@ArianeSherine But where else would we us bearded fellows put food we're saving for later?

My mum, trying to comfort me about my ex: I've never liked beards on men. I always think of the food that could get caught in them
Me: Thanks for clearing that up, it makes all the difference to my feelings about the breakup!
