But Bulleid nearly got there!!!!!

A fate amply deserved by all those who fail to change the password from the manufacturer’s initial factory setting. Charlie

I take it that the Avtur residues improve the flavour! Charlie

Ex Caledonian Railway 0-6-0!

Proper aerobatics!

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings!

I too was wondering whether the 2 seat Typhoons were equipped with command ejection. I also thought there was a rule that fast jets were prohibited from air to air refuelling with passengers in the back seat. Charlie

Just don’t look at the front cover of the latest edition which depicts Ian Hislop’s contempt for Boris Johnson in a truly gruesome stomach turning manner. Charlie

Funnily enough I was in Berkeley Castle last Tuesday and the guide was quite specific to say that it was more likely that Edward II was smothered. However, I agree why spoil a good story especially she went on to say 'Berkeley Hunt' four times. Charlie

It was Richard III who ended up in the Leicester car park and whose death at Bosworth marked the conclusion of the Wars of the Roses, an episode in English history that probably represented the kind on elimination contest that ID had in mind. I can’t recall any English king being beheaded at the Tower. Nearly 200 years later Charles I suffered that fate in Whitehall. It was his son, later Charles II, who hid up the oak tree and went on to die in his bed (but not with Nell Gwyn!). Charlie

It may quite possibly be because Brassmasters also produce gauges for EM/P4: https://www.brassmasters.co.uk/axle_gauges.htm Charlie

Next weekend we hope!

That was a very regrettable incident caused by a failure to properly engineer the Heath-Robinson inflight refuelling system installed in haste for the Falklands conflict in 1982. However, the demise of the Nimrod came with realisation that the Nimrod Mk4 (fitting new wings and engines on the existing airframe) was much more problematic than originally envisaged. Charlie

That was a heap of poo and had to go. Sadly not one of the UK’s finest feats of engineering. Charlie

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7x7sSz_Vsi8&feature=share It is not as though Wayne Barnes hasn’t refereed a final before and of course Owen Farrell can be a somewhat ‘chatty’! Charlie

For those interested in old buses (and coaches)

Still wondering what airfield this photo was taken at with the TACAN beacon on top of its mast. There are two golf ball radomes in the background on the left. St Mawgan could be a possibility. Charlie -
Speedbird is the voice callsign prefix for all British Airways flights. The ‘heavy’ suffix to callsigns is a notification to allow extra separation for wake turbulence considerations. Interestingly, GPS based navigation systems are so precise that aircraft on the organised North Atlantic tracks deliberately have to fly small offsets to track to avoid flying through another aircraft’s wake and shaking up the G&Ts down the back.

Of course when we reach the Holy Grail of abundant energy through nuclear fusion we will have ample helium as the byproduct . Charlie PS I don’t know if it still does so but 10 years ago or so the airfield at Kidlington used to brand itself as London Oxford airport.

Temperature controlled soldering iron with a tip temperature of 190-200C, Carrs red label flux and 70C solder is one approach for white metal but I wonder whether quick setting epoxy is not a better approach for what seems to be quite an intriguing kit. Charlie

I always thought the nickname Zeppelin was applied to the Robinson 9N 4-6-2 Passenger tanks because of their bulk. The 2-6-4 tanks were indeed known as crabs or more fully ‘Neasden Crabs’. Charlie

Mug's game!

This lot (recommended by some other forum) https://www.drill-service.co.uk are reasonable. Don’t know how their pricing compares but the quality is good and they provide overnight delivery. Hope this doesn’t ruin your Friday with less time on Google and more time for painting. Charlie

There are several threads in this forum that are getting into a right old tiz about units of measurement. A nautical mile is a measure of distance derived from one minute arc of latitude measured at the surface of the earth. A knot is a measure of speed equivalent to one nautical mile per hour. Charlie

At least he is not in the chamber of the House! Charlie
