Yes, but don't forget they probably had regular crews, I think you'd adapt pretty quickly if you had it each day. I'd be interested to know what...
First proper go firing Beachy Head yesterday (for one trip before we had to swap engines!). I was told "fire it like a Bulleid", which I'd...

Oxted or Lingfield signaller I think, or the panel if it's gone into TBROC already? Yes there is a procedure for contacting them before going...
