strangely got mine 3 days ago - have been busy!!! you know diving and stuff!

have just opened it but I did already know about it - I vaguely remember someone being there telling me about it,

Following the report and the discussion Sunday - it makes me wonder how they managed to get salt water inside the cylinder?????

thoughts???

Why didnt you ask then ????

Seriously though, I havnt seen the picture, but find it incredible if that thickness of steel has corroded right throught in only 2 years.
Even the old fiat 127's used to last just over 2 years.

I always find the best way of getting salt water, sand, shells etc. into anything is to put in on the rib, prior to hitting bridlington beach in a very rough sea, with 500mph winds blowing down the beach and no tractor to be seen, worked for all the kit last time........maybe this cylinder was on the rib ???

Probably belonged to someone who filled it themselves at a club compressor at say 250-260 bar (after all,it'll cool down to a nice solid 232 or 240 - what's the difference between friends?)
