The boat mv regal lady has a Gardner 8l 3xb Diesel engine. Sadly she is no longer used as a pleasure boat and is moored up permanently and used as a floating museum. I hope I got the numbers correct for the model of Gardner engine she has

Appreciate your enthusiasm for some great aero history, I'm only here after discovering a small glass jar full of soil in an abandoned house. the jars label say's.... (Seven Barrows 10th September 1910 - 1980 Anniversary of Geoffrey's 1st flight) what with these uncertain times I would hope if push came to a shove the likes of Sir Geoffrey De Havilland , Mitchell, Wallace, & many more be looking over us. The aircraft history & the family history is pretty amazing. 10/10

2 oldest car manufacturers in the world, legendary. Tatra trucks use a unique unrivaled chassis with a central support tube and semi-articulated axles. It passes through any terrain with any load. Tatra is a matter of the heart and their air-cooled engines are a unique power and performance. "Tatra doesn't know brother"

I drool over pictures and film of the mosquito. The two raids on Berlin to disrupt the tenth anniversary of Hitlers rise to power when they bombed Gobbel's and Goering's speeches would stir anyone's soul methinks. Goering was fit to be tied because he had promised that British planes would never fly over Germany and if I remember correctly bombs could be heard exploding in the background during the speech and all mosquito's got home safely

Good one, thanks for pointing it out otherwise I wouldn't have realised (seriously) That 50 years was a crazy period for every field of engineering and science, if it wasn't for the fact I've gone from dirty mags to pornhub in my pocket in 20 years I'd say the modern age is boring in comparison.

Like Concorde, it helped inspire my own engineering interest. A pity there aren't a few more projects like that around today.

I had the joy of working on a 107ft huon pine river cruiser with twin 8L3B engines for 5 years. Truly a remarkable feat of engineering. Such low fuel consumption for its output. Servicing, maintenance and rebuilding easy, although O'ring seal placement to the cooling and lubricating galleries to the heads and block were sometimes troublesome, a very solid well built and designed engine!

In WW II the Royal Navy had 72 ft Motor Launches used for harbour and coastal defence and anti submarine duties.Some of them were powered by Gardner 8L3 engines, and most of them had a 1L2 powered generator. The launches had a top speed of 12knots and saw service in home waters, the Mediterranean and Pacific.

It tickles me that people rave about German diesels .many years ago my family ran a transport business and for arctics we ran Atkinson Borderers ,power by Gardner 180s and plated at 32 tons . The only time those engines went cold was a Saturday night or for a regular service because they were collecting exports in the daytime ,and running long distance of a night .Some of those trucks had done 200000 miles and never needed an ounce of work (OK the usual brakes or clutch ,but that's not the engine. ) I'm sure in Britain we could make a Foden or Atkinson again and powered by Gardner that could easily be the best truck in the world .Other people may have other ideas, but when you consider how many still run fishing boats in what must be one of the toughest environments there is ,what better reference could you ask for

Thanks so much for this fabulous video. I used to own a tug with a Gardner 6LX, which in my country was often referred to as a Kromhout Gardner, because this Dutch manufacturer had a license to build them. These engines, too, were sold to Arab countries. Often in those cases the Kromhout cover was replaced by its Gardner counterpart. Google "Kromhout Gardner" images and you'll see.
