We got together an almost full set of Whitworth spanners for Dave
Rotigel's Austral this last summer. To be correct, they should only
have Whitworth sizes marked, as the combined Whitworth/BSF markings
were introduced in WWII and would be later than most Austral engines.

Snail brand spanners do appear quite regularly over here in the UK,
and I think I saw their old place in Sheffield while doing an
installation at one of the hospitals a year or so back.

The ones that we got for Dave were unbranded.
