I find the name weird … “ei” is Dutch for “egg” so I more or less read the vehicle’s name as “hawk-egg”

and BTW Jakko the hawkie is an Aussie Death Adder found in Queensland

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Yay. I got a flying thing right.

Carrying on the nautical theme.
Which vessel famously bearing despatches and the name of her captain?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Using deduction, it’s a sloop I think, and looks Napoleonic. All sloops carried dispatches, so I went for possibly the most famous dispatches of the Napoleonic Wars...so...
HMS Pickle
Captain John Richards Lapenotiere
Trafalgar dispatches

 

[Jon Heptonstall]

Strictly speaking she's a top-sail schooner. Fore and aft sails and square top-sails.But HM Schooner Pickle she is, bearing the Trafalgar despatches and captained by John Lapenotiere.

[Jon Heptonstall]

Managed to find the loco but.........cab lamps???

A big pair of rubber gloves and wellies

 

[Tim Marlow]

Paul mate, your not far off, but not rubber gloves....

 

[Crazy Pat]

Just a shot in the dark, is it a LNER Class EE1 with electrical system of 1500 V DC.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Pat
Sorry mate, didn’t see your reply. Loco is correct, but from the original question, what voltage were the cab lamps and what did the crews use to change them?
Cheers
Tim
