Sorry for the "bad" link. Try http://www.cpmac.com and look at the right hand side for "Napier Heritage Power" and click on it. I don't know why the link, in my previous post, will work when I am outside of AAFO.COM. Wayne, any thoughts???

Look for "Napier Power Heritage", and click on it. Once you get the new page, go about half way down to see the cut out picture of the Napier Deltic (spelling) diesel engine. That's the one with the 3 cranks and 6 pistons. Those old aircraft engines are COOL!!! (including Merlins, Griffons, and the Radials!)

Keith, look close at your first link, there is a period after the html that the board carried into the url because, well.... that's what it does if there is no space between the first part and last part of a web addy, it'll put in the period that we all put in just out of habit..

Edit your post and remove the . and it should work..

PS.. I did it for ya..
