[SEL] Distasterous news for the historicalmachinerymovementinAustralia!!!

[peter ogborne]

Cam .....congratulations, you seem to be the only one to see the ''Big 
Picture''. You are quite correct ,what condition would a nice big flywheel 
be in after a excavator had knocked it around ......Smorgons are not going 
to line all this scrap up for you and i to have a look at...into the truck 
and into the ship.
I suppose i will get another lengthy ''Lecture '' on this subject, still 
that's what the list is about.
