Here it is Folks, the un-molested 1956 DW "Stream Air" serial number 64686 with original hoses, mouth piece and Tinnerman clips. Look at it now because it is going to get a rest and refit here and will be in the Red Sea soon enough. :D

Here it is again after re-furbishment. The plasti-cote tinnerman's are a head nod to the Kraken masters.
