I onced crossed a Botswana boarder post trailering a Windlass. The Windlass's pylon was folded down, with the engine facing upwards.

I overheard a bystander explaining to another less informed that this is a diesel helicopter.

I used to refer to my late friend, Loffie`s trike as: "The brolly with the lawnmower engine". He just smiled. :D
