Reuniting old friends

After sitting, for what seemed an age, with tears in my eyes and a lump in my already injured throat, seeking a website which reunited people with long-lost items, I was on the verge of despair. 'Engines Reunited' does not exist! Before having my own website created, at a considerable sum which us pensioners can ill-afford, it occurred to me to explore one last avenue. I wonder if the 'old and bold' at Bartons Point can help?  If any-one sees or hears from Adrian (aka Milky), shake him gently by the throat and ask him to contact me, by email, by this blog, by messenger or if need be by a medium, to let me know if he still has my engine. I don't care if it's fixed or not, I just want it back, I need it back, please let me have it back before it becomes more appropriate to enter it for Antiques Roadshow!  Rant over, thank you.

Roy I have phoned the number I had for Milky and I was greeted with a message that said; "thank you for calling best prices scrap metal merchants" we melt down all sorts of engines big and very small!

I feel Roy's frustration which he so amusingly describes. If Roy had asked for advice on his course of action, he would have been strongly recommended to steer clear of a huge Black Hole. Usually, described as "we know its there but it cannot be seen".

Stick with gliding...
Or you could try rubber power.
