That sounds good Jaz .......... That said, I'm not sure how many Units with concrete/tarmac runways, would have had Nissan huts ........ my impression was that the Units which were developed enough, to have C/T Runways, would also have had brick or a type of Pre-fab huts, often made with slabs of compressed straw faced with what looked like asbestos sheet [??] Units with grass runways, thrown up in a big hurry might well have had Nissan huts. Having said all that, I have a vague memory of a Bomber Stn with Nissans .... just not sure .... ... will have to mooch around that little thought. ..... Humm.....

You and your Comrades have done a great job. There was one of your Team round the houses in our Estate, last night. There are many serving Service personnel around here, so he will have done well here too. It can't be long before the target is achieved. Great job, by all concerned ..... well done All.

.................. Have you considered ................ ............................... just how tricky it will be to get that past the top Brass at the "Monastery" ....................................

Well he might .. dt .... any chance of enlightenment for the remainder of the population, who might not know ... .. .........

I started with the SDJR set, with a Select, which was combined with the Eurostar set at a knock down price for the both, which meant I effectively got the DCC at no additional cost, over against buying the same items DC. ..... Moving onwards is then not such a chore and can be done in stages ...

............................................... are you trying to get me into trouble ..... ..

Guess no 2 = Paddington? ........................................................................................ I do hope that isn't a purloined Fire Bucket there ...................

........................ Spot-on ............

I have a Pub, a Restaurant and a farmhouse, amongst a few buildings here. They sit together as background to a couple of Locos. They look like they are all 3 different scales - totally different - but they are all the same scale, same manufacturer, but represent different eras .... so were built to cater for different weather, and different people sizes .......... KNowing that doesn't stop it looking a bit odd though .......

Sometimes it isn’t the inhabitants that decide what exists ….. Here is a little village, with only a few inhabitants … Castle Coombe 3 by JulianR 2013, on Flickr Picture, below, with one Pub behind and another in sight on the left of the picture …… you don’t get many places with 2 Pubs and only a couple of dozen houses …… A place familiar to Kal & Jaz ..... if they can remember after visiting the hostelries ............ the one on the left of the picture used to have the best Home-made hot Pork Pies EVER! .... Castle Coombe 2 by JulianR 2013, on Flickr Visitors … that’s the reason why ……...... all because of a film called Dr Doolittle ... Came out of the house one day ….. Old Courthouse 1 by JulianR 2013, on Flickr ……… turned left out of the black door there and walked down the street ….. there were 2 nice old American ladies just in front “Gee Winifred, these places look just so beautiful. Why don’t we have any places like this back home?” ….. Couldn’t resist, I’m afraid ……. “That, Madam, would be because Americans simply haven't been around for long enough.” ……..

I can think of days in my early youth ....................................... ............................................................................... when that would have been a rather welcome invitation ......... ............................ .................................

The colour is lovely .... it is the Nat Trust shop ......................... but .................. ..................................... How will you ............................................................................ model the creaking floor ..... ....

I will be busy with MDs birthday Friday and Sat, but am aiming to get a new camera next week .............. what a lovely opportunity to try it out .....

This is looking at the outside of the other corner of the Market Square .... Salisbury Silver St by JulianR 2013, on Flickr Lots more of the Tudor building easier to see here too ..... There are lots of outside Restaurant tables are down the street the other side of the Flowers.

I think it must vary quite a bit depending where you go ……. Salisbury has tried to maintain it’s older buildings and puts the modern shops inside. It is pretty easy too see what age they were built in. There are, of course, some modern exceptions in gaps that were formed with zero choice offered to the population about 69 – 74 years ago. Most places here are this sort of age and a number a couple of centuries later.............. Salisbury Blue Boar Row by JulianR 2013, on Flickr The Centre of Salisbury still has it’s Market in the Square twice every week. This Sat view shows the Market Square, with the Market people's Stands/Stalls. and at the Southern edge lots of tables can just be made out. The next street Southwards has another row of outdoor tables too, on the other side of the run-through Restaurants. There is a fashion here whereby people do use the outdoor tables and they have cover from the rain in the form of umbrellas and Gazebos, which can be made out on the South edge of the square. Salisbury Centre by JulianR 2013, on Flickr There are several other locations, in other Salisbury streets and Squares, with outdoor tables around, like the High St here …… where more can just be made out surrounded by red wind breaks further along … The buildings are pretty much all old here too ... many of the older ones are further along and can just be made out, by their wooden beams, Salisbury High St North by JulianR 2013, on Flickr This is the other end of High St, looking the other way … Salisbury High St N end by JulianR 2013, on Flickr Lastly looking to the Southern end of High St, showing the shops and Restaurants In really old buildings and one of the smaller Cathederal Towers on the skyline … Salisbury High St Looking South by JulianR 2013, on Flickr It seems that people here really value the older ways, but how long they can hold out for I am not sure …. But it is very pleasant while they do…..

Like the searchlights, what a great idea .... ....................................... Oh ... just a minute - there were three ... Better start thinking what colour you might like to be seen about town with .............. .................................. ......... for your hair! ......... ......

An ex-girlfriend of mine eventually married a Civil Engineer - frankly a fortunate decision on her part ....... He was involved in planning and getting the M5 across the Somerset Shallows Levels. The idea was, apparently, to bury bundles of Faggots [rather like massive bundles of sticks.] on their sides. I did see a few when passing by on the A38, and they were massive. The M5 was then built on top of the layers of bundles. The idea being that the sticks would semi float, as the water table is a touch high round there and support the road. Apparently they did just that ... float, I mean - sideways and poped up again, in the fields 100 yds away from the road ....... last I heard, at the time, was they were actively considering other ways to proceed ..... The M5 is still there - so I guess that they must have cracked it. ...

Blimey Ron ......... Lies ................... Dammnd Lies ......................... and politicians! ......... ........ I just googled the Junction 5-7 and the first post came up with ..... ..... Don't you just love 'em .......... such silky words too ....... .... you may well not - make it anywhere, full stop .........
