My God, a Dominie!! Do they still exist? It must be the multiple layers of Red/White/Gray/Black/Yellow etc paint thats holding them together.
Still in debt thanks to the Dominie. Recovering one with (funny old thing) a LHS windshield failure from Stavangar in the '70's cost me £3 a pint of beer and £15 for a burger and chips.
I earned £17 per week in those days.
