Hi Paul

my head says another Tattoo but my heart says a Falcon.

One of the arguments against the Falcon is that it has inside
cylinders which would make maintenance more difficult - how did the
old Corris manage (or the Talyllyn for that matter)?

I would also like to add my "thank you" to Richard et al for setting
up this mailgroup.
