Stuart did a quiz on his Tas trip in the BC (before Covid) years.
Unfortunately the image links no longer work, but you might enjoy reading it anyway.

When I set this forum up, I asked him to do another quiz, but covid forced a delay.

WOW that is some windmill! I am used to ones in the American prairie that have half to 1/3 the blade length. When that thing gets moving, it will do some real pumping.
Enjoying your reports!
