What better review could I hope for than the following: "Worth a watch. The host is a challenging wank but with the promise of shaftlines and lubricantion systems in episode 2 I'm hoping to get past a semi."
I spent a couple of years in Vospers stood by Southampton and watched Nottingham building about 9 months behind us. Probably the most enjoyable draft I had although Exeter Pierhead jump in 82 was exciting too!
Excellent pair of videos! Thank you very much indeed, I'm currently trying to make a simulator of a T22 and it's most helpful to hear some of the details from someone who worked with the real thing (B1/2 T22s had almost identical machinery to T42). Looking forward to the next ones!
Wow what a great project, I'd be fascinated to hear more about it. I have no idea how to begin such a task, what software to use etc. Also thanks for the comment, I'm glad you found it useful. It's a real shame it's not all fresh in my mind!
@@drawingboard82 I tried to reply earlier but youtube doesn't seem to like links, my website is whiteensigngame dot com, there's a link to the Discord server on there where I'm more active. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Bowden trip just over your left shoulder in the MCR picture. Having to keep it lifted when doing a start was always nerve racking! Start TET rising.....
Special Service Aguti air blew the air out of the blade tips. It was supposed to reduce noise and also reduce wear on the blade tips as caused by cavitation. It had been blanked by the time I joined a 42.
With SKF couplings, from 45 onwards, we went back to the terminology of 'Muff Coupling'...as a group of sailors oh how we giggled!!! They are very clever bits of kit though and are still pretty much the same today as they were on the 42s. I studied them for maintenance purposes on the new T26 and there is not alot of difference at all.
I may have some photos and bits and bobs that you may like. I even still have my Gloucester Engineering guide or tab! If you would like anything please reply and we could set something up.
Thanks god that Marpol convention does not apply to warships. As a Chief engineer of a mechant ship, one could not defend him or herself that leaking out from the blade roots as dolphin feeding oil (even if the oil is emulsifiable). Your oil seems to be a mineral type which is severely punishable by Flag or Port state autorhities.
Took me and one other 7 hours to rotate starboard shaft by hand ready to go into DP3 because the electric motor was broke and awaiting a part. The part arrived 30 minutes later😔.
DB82 - If you want to get in touch with me off YT, there are quite a few corrections to your T42 Prop presentations you need to embody. I am an ex-42 Prop Tiff (had 5 x T42s from stoker to Warrant), former lecturer at DSMarE and have information and .ppts you may like to see and use.
Thanks. I'd like that! Its been over ten years and a lot of stuff feels "Right" in my head but may have drifted! I could do with remaking this anyway, I have a better system now with a laser pointer that actually works...
Nothing like a good 3 way split to cause a brain fart and the resultant tell tale signs you messed up.......lights out, vent fans off and much swearing!
Nothing like doing it for real in a slightly stressed state. Its all very well on the training side. My MEOs advice, after me screwing up mid atlantic, was "Dont touch the switchboard. I dont!"
Gosh, the CPP system is complicated. Amazing that it was reliable. Your red lines that pop up when describing thing like the control panel are sometimes quite hard to follow (i.e. a new red line pops up but the viewer has no idea where it will be in the picture and may well miss its appearance). I'm thinking, if you have a screen recording function, that simply moving the cursor around to point at things would be easier to follow, because the eye can easily track the movement of the cursor, rather than having to work out which red line is the newest one. On the downside, you'd maybe have to move it whilst giving the commentary, whereas it seems you prepared the red lines in advance. Secondly, the talking head picture-in-picture quite often obscures the main text. We could lose that white door to the left of your head. Not wanting to be picky here: still an interesting video to watch.
I know exactly what you mean. A recent update to PowerPoint made that impossible! I managed it with previous presentations like Concorde. So I need to figure out a solution. I appreciate the viewing and glad you got something out of it. I really like your new gearbox by the way.

Had 2 42's in my time a good blast from the past

The air driven FL pump was called the Rotax. I used to hate testing cut-ins on those things as they were sooooo loud!!!

I remember it was bloody stiff! I had to pull it once :-)

I know Ticker Hart and played drums with him at Sultan as part of the music club! Great blues player and a great guy!!! Small world!
He is an awesome guy, really decent all round. I was talking to him the other day because he turned forty :-)

Was it Grafton that wrote off her Primary Pinion?
Yes, but all the 23s had shoddy gearboxes.

Trying to avoid going down a snake pit...I mean Rabbit hole! ha

Tremendous! Lots of wrist exercise so...

Port Plate lift off Port CPP Pp...CPP all the way on to the stops. CPP locked in place. 8 day rebuild alongside in Gib. Liver hammered.
I honestly can't remember what port plate liftoff was. I just remember everyone being terrified of it!
