JDog Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 When I went to Norfolk a few months ago to see if Ditchman could start up Belching Bessy he gave me this as a memento. I have no idea what it is but as he said at the time it is very tactile and it is useful as a paper weight. By hand I have managed to unscrew four separate pieces of the object and much to my surprise they have gone back in the right place. I haven't though managed to start it up yet but that may come in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
