How old is my DM2?

[Teapot Tel]

hi I am trying to establish the history of Denmark and the age of the Russell Newbery DM2 the serial number is 22E1517. Any information gratefully received.

I have a few notes on Russell Newbery engines and I have 22E1517 as one of the last of 169 engines built under Vero Engineering, Southampton in 1991. It was supplied to Stoke on Trent Boatbuilders and fitted into their new build DENMARK 

edit = not bad - 10 minutes to get an answer in the middle of the night.

If that's my old Denmark, the original invoice for the engine was in the paperwork I'm sure was left on the boat.

going on my (bad) memory, it was built the same year as the boat, I think in Southampton.

Denmark as a unified kingdom began in the 8th century, but historic documents describe the geographic area and the people living there—the Danes—as early as 500 AD...

Thank you  Yes Mike Tee this is your old boat    The document you mention was on board but unfortunately was damaged

However old it is it isn't old enough, run it for another 35 years and then ask again.

Hmmm, I reckon it will still be 1991
