There are so many Tiller Girls and Tiller Troupes that it's hard to keep track. What they have in common in following the principles of John Tiller from the end of the nineteenth century.

Austrian actress Nadja Tiller (1929) was one of the erotic stars of the European cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.
Nadja Tiller was born into a theatrical family and started out as a model. She won the Miss Austria contest twice, in 1949 and 1951, which turned out to be her ticket into filmmaking. In 1949, she acted opposite O.W. Fischer in Märchen vom Glück (Arthur de Glahs, 1949). Many roles as a vamp in German and Austrian films followed. In 1954 she worked with director Rolf Thiele in the successful Sie. Until 1970 they would make ten more movies together, including Die Barrings (1955, with Dieter Borsche) and Lulu (1962, with Mario Adorf).
Nadja Tiller’s international breakthrough role was that of the high class prostitute Rosemarie Nitribitt in Das Mädchen Rosemarie (Rolf Thiele, 1958). The film, based on a scandal, confirmed the assumption of post-war, American audiences that European actresses were somehow more sensuous and erotic than their Hollywood counterparts. With international productions like The Rough and the Smooth (Robert Siodmak, 1959), Du Rififi chez les femmes (Alex Joffé, 1959); An einem Freitag um halb zwölf (Alvin Rakoff, 1961), L'Affaire Nina B. (Robert Siodmak, 1961); La chambre ardente (Julien Duvivier, 1962) and Anima nera (Roberto Rossellini, 1962), Tiller stayed a favourite of the art house public. She would act in more than 70 films. Since the 1970s she works mainly for theater and television. Tiller has been married since 1956 to actor Walter Giller and they were called the 'Traumpaar der Wirtschaftswunder-Ära'. Together they received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. Nadja Tiller’s latest film was the road movie Barfuss (Til Schweiger, 2005).

Name: Eilert Tiller
Arrested for: not given
Arrested at: North Shields Police Station
Arrested on: 5 December 1907
Tyne and Wear Archives ref: DX1388-1-119-Eliert Tiller
For an image of his accomplice Patrick Liljebald see www.flickr.com/photos/twm_news/25657821142/in/album-72157....
The Shields Daily News for 13 December 1907 reports:
“SEAFARING MEN SENT TO PRISON.
Patrick Liljebald (35), described as a ship’s steward, of Gothenburg, and Eilert Tiller (20), a Norwegian sailor, were brought up on remand charged with breaking and entering on the 5th December a shop situate on the Union Quay, and stealing therefrom a quantity of cigarettes, tobacco etc, of the value of £1 4s 2d, the property of Messrs E.H. Smith and Co.
The Chief Constable (Mr J.H. Huish) withdrew this charge and preferred one of simple larceny. Evidence was given to the effect that PC Armstrong, while on duty on the Union Quay, noticed that a window of the shop mentioned had been broken, and he in consequence kept observation upon the premises. Blowing his whistle and waving his lamp about he attracted the attention of a night watchman – Lawrence Bonholm – who came to his assistance. Leaving the latter outside, the officer entered the premises and found the two prisoners who tried to conceal themselves. He took them into custody and had them conveyed to the police station. On being charged with breaking and entering the premises, Liljebald said he had only gone there to get a sleep, while the other prisoner made no reply.
They were both sent to prison for one month with hard labour.”

I was introduced to this car at the end of our winter mini marathon. (Thiose images to come later after judging)
This car was developed between Ford UK and Colin Chapmans Lotus development team.
It was used in track racing and Rallying from 1963 onwards and even had my favourite racing driver of all time, Jim Clark, as a test driver and competitor between his F1 and F2 duties for Lotus.
This example is a 1965 version as denoted by the "C" on the number plate but also some cosmetic details in the radiator grill and sidelights and an udated ventilation set up.
This car is my number one car of all time and is worth every penny of my pension pot if my wife would only let me have one.
A "Jim Clark" version of this could set you back upwards from £250,000.
Many fond memories of this tiller and its life as Ladder-23, as well as its runs into Truro past my house along Brice Road.
I wanted to document some of the Pinery fire (25th Nov 2015). Partly to understand it but also so that others can appreciate what the locals have to deal with.
The Jenkin history and my memories of farms, covers the Pinery fire area. I still have uncles and oher relatives in the area with farms.
My father grew up in the area and knows almost everyone affected in the local townships (Many are related to me in some way). We took a day to check out two of my uncles farms (one was my grandparents old farm),
We checked out the creeks and roads my father learnt to drive on and where my Grandfather had a push bike accident. .
The area had 2 feet high crops everywhere ...... gone. Nothing left. No ash, no roots, no nothing. Empty fields.
Lush green areas were starting to dry out for summer, but are now arid desert sands. Some areas feel like the drought striken Mallee scrub.
We visited many of my fathers friends. My father was checking up on people in the local car club, seeing what cars survived. A few were lost and we got to see them first hand.
My dad told me about going to School and knowing Allan Tiller, who died in the fire. We saw Paul Blacket's burnt out machinery. We saw the house where they had no insurance, 4 children.
It was a very sureal evnvonment with smoke on the horizen in many directions. Days later, state emergency services, fire forensics, county fire service trucks with emergency lights flashing and insurance assessors are everywhere.
Spot fires are still burning, homes still smouldering, hay still smoking and dead livestock still laying in fields.
In town, in Wasley, the local post office is burnt and so are the Bowls club, club rooms. To show how tough they are, the locals are playing bowls, with the club behind them in ruins.
As we go through town, we see a house intact, then a burnt out house, then another house ok, then a burnt out car. The railway lines and sleepers are still smouldering.
Many houses look intact but poeple are moving out. The beams in the cealing are about to collapse.
The fire front was about 42kms (26 miles) long and was being fanned by 90 km/hr (55 miles/hr) winds. Cars were catching on fire as people were driving to flee the scene.
Many cars simply died with the lack of ozygen and vapour lock.
The fire travelled quickly and caught people off guard.
I mentioned to my father about all the old ruins about the place that had been there for years. He told me that these where from the last great fire, January 1948.

Tens of thousands of hectares of crops, livestock and expensive farm machinery have been destroyed.
Industry figures estimate the economic loss to farmers could top $100 million AUD and that more than 51,000 animals have died amid fears of even more widespread damage
The area affected by the massive blaze is home to many leading cereal and pulse grain producers, who grow wheat, barley, canola, lentils and chickpeas.
Almost two-thirds of the damaged zone was paddocks. Many farmers lost valuable hay for feed and revenue.
EIGHTY seven homes have been destroyed by the Pinery fire.
Friday it was announced that the fire had been contained, with 200 firefighters remaining on the fireground to monitor and control any flare-ups.
A further 388 farm sheds and outbuildings, 93 pieces of farm machinery and 98 vehicles were destroyed.
Two people have died.
Five people remain in a critical condition in hospital with serious burns.
Ninety people have sought assistance for very minor to critical injuries.
PIRSA has assessed more than 270 properties in the fireground. They continue to help farmers and livestock owners.
More than 50,000 poultry were lost in the fire.
About 950 sheep have had to be euthanised (a number which is expected to rise sharply).
The fire has burnt an area of 82,600 hectares (826 kms squared / 513 miles squared) and has a 265 kilometre perimeter. (164 miles)

Austrian actress Nadja Tiller (1929) was one of the erotic stars of the European cinema of the 1950s and 1960s.
Nadja Tiller was born into a theatrical family and started out as a model. She won the Miss Austria contest twice, in 1949 and 1951, which turned out to be her ticket into filmmaking. In 1949, she acted opposite O.W. Fischer in Märchen vom Glück (Arthur de Glahs, 1949). Many roles as a vamp in German and Austrian films followed. In 1954 she worked with director Rolf Thiele in the successful Sie. Until 1970 they would make ten more movies together, including Die Barrings (1955, with Dieter Borsche) and Lulu (1962, with Mario Adorf).
Nadja Tiller’s international breakthrough role was that of the high class prostitute Rosemarie Nitribitt in Das Mädchen Rosemarie (Rolf Thiele, 1958). The film, based on a scandal, confirmed the assumption of post-war, American audiences that European actresses were somehow more sensuous and erotic than their Hollywood counterparts. With international productions like The Rough and the Smooth (Robert Siodmak, 1959), Du Rififi chez les femmes (Alex Joffé, 1959); An einem Freitag um halb zwölf (Alvin Rakoff, 1961), L'Affaire Nina B. (Robert Siodmak, 1961); La chambre ardente (Julien Duvivier, 1962) and Anima nera (Roberto Rossellini, 1962), Tiller stayed a favourite of the art house public. She would act in more than 70 films. Since the 1970s she works mainly for theater and television. Tiller has been married since 1956 to actor Walter Giller and they were called the 'Traumpaar der Wirtschaftswunder-Ära'. Together they received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. Nadja Tiller’s latest film was the road movie Barfuss (Til Schweiger, 2005).

Both the ambulance and the pumper truck I built for Bricksboro are red with a blue and white stripe, with some sort of zig-zag worked into them, using SNOT work. This tiller truck provided a bigger canvas, so I could do something similar, but simply using a mosaic like combination of plates. It's easier and doesn't interfere with the doors, but looks just as nice.
Low tech steering and throttle for back country skiff in the Keys. Seems to be making a slight comeback. Interesting.

“Sir! She’s sprung a leak!” The first mate dashed into the pirate Captain’s cabin, flushed and out of breath.
The Captain raised a scowling face. “Man the pumps then! You know what to do!”
“This is no ordinary leak, sir. She’s going fast!”
“Whad’ya mean, she’s goin’?” The Captain followed the words with a string of curses and then nearly bowled his mate over as he rushed topside. “All hands on deck! Man the pumps! Full force!” The next instant he was down in the hull with the mate beside him, pointing out the leak. The Captain’s face twisted in rage. “Who did that? That’s no leak. We’ve been scuttled! Who had the last watch?”
The mate shifted uneasily. Water poured in, soaking both men’s boots, but neither seemed to notice. At last he muttered, “Billy was at the tiller.”
“Billy?! That good for nothin’… Lazy – I’ll make him pay! Probably did it a purpose – wants us all ta drown!”
The mate was about to reply, but instead he ejaculated, “Good heavens! We’re sinking!” The words ended in a kind of scream. For the water was now rushing furiously in, threatening to sweep both off their feet.
“Shut your mouth!” the Captain spat, climbing topside again and ignoring his dripping garments.
At that moment the ship tilted violently, sending both men along with several other pirates into the scuttles. Billy fell too, slamming into the Captain.
“You! – You did this!” The Captain grabbed the unfortunate cabin boy by the neck.
Billy shuddered, turning terrified eyes to the Captain’s ferocious look.
“Well?! Answer me!”
With sudden boldness the boy spoke up. “I did do it.”
“Treason! Mutiny! You’ll pay for this!”
“Of course he will,” the mate grumbled. “We’re all goin’ to the bottom!”
“I’ll make sure Billy gets there first!” the Captain exclaimed, uttering a fearful oath.
Another lurch of the ship freed Billy from the Captain’s grasp for a second and he scrambled to his feet, desperately climbing toward the prow which was now pointing to the sky.
Cries and shouts resounded through the ship, which had now begun to sink in earnest. And yet for all their desperate plight, the pirates only quarreled and fought with each other, all eager to prolong their miserable lives by as many minutes as they could, even if it meant sending another to his death. The more reckless dove into the rum supply, determined to drown in drink for the last few minutes before they really drowned. Slowly the ship sank lower and lower, and now many of the pirates, forced to realize their plight, screamed in terror. Those who had sent so many to their deaths were unwilling to go themselves.
Above deck the Captain pulled himself aft by main force, practically tearing the boards, almost foaming at the mouth in his impotent rage. Billy clung to the bowsprit, unsure whether to face the Captain’s fury or spring overboard at once. He shuddered as he looked down into the water, and, opening his clasp knife, resolved to defend himself.
Ropes and bits of iron slid down the decks along with other miscellany. The Captain lost his hold – caught it again – and in desperation, pulled out his pistol.
Billy shuddered and tried to shrink into as small a target as possible.
The next instant a heavy sack smashed into the Captain’s legs and with a terrible cry he crashed headlong into the churning water.
And now the ship had almost completely sunk, and Billy was left alone. A sudden silence – an eerie silence – succeeded the fearful shouts. Billy climbed farther up the bowsprit until he was perched as high atop it as possible.
He had done it, and he thought his own life was a small price to pay for the blessing of ridding the sea of such a scourge. But other thoughts came to him in those moments that seemed like a life time as he straddled the rough timber, knife still in hand. After all, the quick, almost painless death to which he had sent his comrades seemed a poor repayment for their actions. They would have died, eventually, anyways – he had only hastened it by a year or two – and was that all? For all their villainy, for all their injustice, for having taken him, still a little child, and made him virtually their slave, dragging him through unspeakable horror? …hate surged through him, and he half cursed himself for taking such a poor and flavorless vengeance.
Then he thought of the deeds he himself had taken pleasure in doing, and loathed himself as heartily as any of his companions.
Was this all life had? Was there no real justice? The thought was intolerable to him. Far better to stand condemned, as he knew he would be, then to think that in the end, wrong would win.
But perhaps… perhaps… could mercy be found? Even for him?
The still, silent waters closed over the pirate ship, leaving no trace.
