Matthew Carlson notes (April 28, 2017): The Brompton Bear has been a busy little tug the last few years doing jobs at remote lakes and job sites. my boss was hired to operate it and these are a few pictures he was able to get for me. (The unusual rudder was later replaced by a more conventional design).
