Robin Williams x Electrcian.
Ah yes the 'Colombo! I remember that incident as, by that time, I was Supt. The problem with that class was that all the props were over pitched so we could rarely get over 100 rpm but loosing all that from the blade tips has her running at about 108rpm I seem to recall. I also remember that that prop fell of the low loader somewhere on the A1 as it was going to Birkenhead for repair!....The C/Eng wanted to patent the new prop shape because the slip for the voyage was the best ever recorded....
