I well remember that Hall Scott V12 at Uptons Mike, what a massive beast they are. I believe that the American PT boats used three of them. Imagine trying to keep the fuel up to that lot!

If memory serves correctly, John Mackie and his son have one of these engines part restored.

They had one at Point Cook in the late 60's when I was doing my flying training in case a Winjeel fell in the drink.

I have a feeling it was replaced with a more modern style of boat not long afterwards.
