Check out the video at 0.29sec, Looks like George Thompson working on the motor and possibly Ted Jones on the boat. 1958 was the first time I was there. The Hydro was kept in the woodshop which was Verboten to go in. You can clearly see the open stack on the left side of the engine.
You can see George Thompson handing the two blade prop to Mr. K, at the Lake X trials.Quote:

Can't see his face too well but it looks like Ted Jones..It's been 53 years, and I could be wrong, but I know it isn't Mr K.Quote:
