Just had to check predictive text hadn't kicked in on that last sentence before I pressed send 😂🤪 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had to check predictive text hadn't kicked in on that last sentence before I pressed send 😂🤪 Yes, it's a Dinky Vega Major Coach, the early version from 1964 that has working flashing indicators. I've just bought a pair of repro orange lenses for the side repeaters. If it's meant to work, it gets fixed around here. If it doesn't, it will bother one or both of us! 🤪 Of course nowadays if you shout "Bus Winkers!" most people assume that you're misquoting The Inbetweeners... I also double checked the spell chucker there too..... Might have to get on with my tree project as it seems that discussion of dive-bombers and women in stockings has drifted over to The Sheep Chronicles....😆 Edited January 4 by MrWolf Bus W*nkers... 6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the film B of B My aunt was working at a radar station on the Isle of Wight when Stukas attacked . She remained at her post and was “Mentioned in despatches “ and awarded the Oak leaves . A sergeant bawled her out when he ordered her to leave her post . She did as ordered but jumped over a big hole not realising there was an unexplored bomb in it .

MrWolf Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 My grandfather was working for BTH as a development engineer in the thirties and was involved with the signal deciphering equipment for early radar. He was prevented from joining up in 1939 and ended up being involved with the magnetron project and the first crystal semiconductors. 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrWolf Posted January 4 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 4 Today's post brought a distraction that @Bluemonkey presents.... will recognise, in the form of two carefully packaged GWR AERO wagons. They are of course from the @chuffinghell wagon works and of an incredibly high standard. I've ordered two sets of Alan Gibson 12mm three hole disc wheels for them and I'll be priming them tomorrow when I've bought a fresh can of paint. Also in the box was the other kind of AERO, just in case anyone felt left out! 14 1 1 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted January 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 4 (edited) Well I didn’t think it was fair that Miss R didn’t get an Aero too @Bluemonkey presents.... has some on the way too but unfortunately I was unable to fulfill his request for a mint aero because I’d already given it to Sarah…..I’d already demolished the Yorkie & Kitkat Chunky. I did share the four finger Kitkat and Fruit pastilles though (reluctantly) 🤪 Edited January 4 by chuffinghell 2 3 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Business is business, but one's significant other always gets dibs when it comes to chocolate. Keeping my promise not to let her eat it all in one go was as always a bit of a scrap, but I managed it.... 3 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
