Too small and believe it or not too cheap. Devonport Yachts build bespoke vessels between 50 metres and 120 - 130metres, at the moment we have a 50 metre, a 77 metre and an 88 metre yacht in the yard with a 92 metre on the drawing board. A rough price guide for one of these is around £1million per metre.

The marinas are built specifically for them as they can charge megabucks for berthing them.

 

I agree though, tax them to the hilt and reduce our fuel duty with the revenue raised. Incidentally that's exactly what they've introduced in Sardinia, trouble is it had the opposite effect, boats can up anchor and sail somewhere else and much of the money the owners used to bring into the island has gone elsewhere. UK wise though designing and building one of these will keep 3 or 4 hundred people in work for around 2/3 years.

and how many people have land rover and every other 4x4 manufacturer employed over the years and how much revenue have they bought into the communities and the country?

[Smudger105e]

I am a Production Manager at the largest locomotive maintenance depot in Europe. We maintain diesel locomotives class 66, 67 and 60.

 

Here's some piccies

 

 

 

 

Also just started doing derailments, that is not derailing them but putting the buggers back on when they fall off!!

 

We are supposed to be getting a new (new to us!) crane like this one. Took the pics on my conversion course a few months back

 

 

 

Done lots of rerailing over 10 years ago, but getting back into it. Biggest derailments I have supervised, Isle of Grain (East Stoke) 22 aircraft kerosene tankers off, and three were up the right way too!!
