  • Tell me, is the firm Mirrlees Bickeron & Day still in existence! If so where are they based?

  • @Koseiko2008 They are based at Stockport England.

  • Nice engine, looks well maintained.

    But the missing insulation on the exhaust system would never have been aproved by the Lloyds register if it had been installed in a sea going vessel.

  • Yeah... but surely in the boat the exhaust was insulated.

  • sounds beautifull.... running like clockwork. Is this on a boat?

  • This engine was a auxiliary generator on a british transport boat. And now a auxiliary generator on a hospital. I took the video there during a maintenance electric shut down.
