As far as I know he went through a divorce, and currently works in Germany. He did ask a couple of years ago if we could convert it to an outboard, but haven't seen or heard of him since. He's up to date with his storage charges though!

Is this the guy I knew from donkey's years back, I worked at British Aerospace with him? what was his name?
