Around the world in an Austin 7

[Bob Culver]

It is curious nowadays that his mate at 12 stone, 76 kg was regarded as somewhat robust. Austins etensively overhauled the car in England but it had been involved in a major smash. In NZ for decades there was a large magazine the Auckalnd Weekly. My grandparents had saved all the centre photo pages since WW!. I was very intrigued by the photos of the crew in a hold manipulating a giant bucket in an attempt to ladle off water. I am not sure if the prop gashed the stern or the empty tunnel was the problem.
