Just a bit of avation history on Caster Oil for any one who’s interested.In World War 1 the british developed a raidial aircraft engin call’d a “Nome”, put it in a now famous plain call the “Sopwith Camel”It did well shootin down the Jerry’s.Anyway the cylinders of the engin spun around the crank & pistons insted of the other way round,a cooling inovation, you could’nt have oil in the crank case so they had a sistem where the oil was injected into the crank then blown back out unburnt,so it was caster oil they used.Thats one reason why the airmen used to ware long scavs round there necks so they could wipe the oil of there gogles with it.So Caster Oil has bin in engins for a wile now.
Bit of nostalgia there Dr D.Grew up in Padstow Hts,used to ride over the”then unfinished”Alfred Pt bridge after school,weekends.Had a Kwaka 100cc Trailboss.Menai was so great then,we used to drink water from the streems.That could explane alot ha!ha!
