kudos ◊ 2012-08-12 01:31	dsl wrote Aus Marina was [YDO24]. That's interesting, our other Aus-assembled Marinas are listed as [ADO28] ...

I can't decide whether we should change Aus Marinas from ADO28 - on the one hand it is more accurate as there were local changes eg engines from UK spec, but on the other hand it would make them disappear for searchers unless they are expert enough to know the Aus code.
