Given the two Yorkshiremen in the taxi, there was a chance that someone would try to skip out without paying.

n World War II the M4 Medium tank (named Sherman by the British) was made amphibious with the addition of a rubberized canvas screen to provide additional buoyancy. It was propelled by propellers driven by the main engine.

Was everyone able to contribute financially to the taxi fare?

Everyone except you...?

Quickly, the person with the latest flight was appointed to handle the transaction.

All modern non-turbine tanks use a diesel engine because diesel fuel is less flammable and more economical than gasoline. Some Soviet tanks used the smoke of burning diesel as an advantage and could intentionally burn fuel in the exhaust to create smoke for cover

[Troll]

Gas turbine engines have been used as auxiliary power units (APUs) in some tanks, and as main powerplants in Soviet/Russian T-80s and U.S. M1 Abrams. They are comparatively lighter and smaller than diesels at the same sustained power output. However they are much less fuel efficient, especially at low RPMs, requiring more fuel to achieve the same combat range.

I rummaged through my wallet - did I have the change so that I didn't get stiffed?

[Troll]

Because of their lower efficiency, the thermal signature of a gas turbine is higher than a diesel engine at the same level of power output. On the other hand the acoustic signature of a tank with a muffled gas turbine can be quieter than a piston engine–powered one. The M1A2 was nicknamed 'Whispering Death' for its quiet operatio

A ten pound note and some random change should suffice.

[Troll]

Like most modern diesel engines used in tanks, gas turbines are usually multi-fuel engines.
