Pete in Lincs

For tea and biscuits

On your Birthday cake

You'll need to find room on it for some I.D. numbers in a contrasting colour. They seem to feature on most of the pictures I've seen. At the weekend I found that I still have a Frog/Novo Shell Welder ship I built in the early 80's. So I think that may get recycled and be the basis of a flying ship sometime in the future.

Fabulous work. What's next?

Lincoln, early this morning. A big bike with apehangers! It's nice to cool your armpits in this weather, but... They looked cool back in the day. With these experienced eyes they look dangerous. As I left Lincoln I saw a white H reg Bond Equipe droptop entering Lincoln. Returning to Lincoln hours later I saw it again as it left Lincoln. (For those who don't know, take a Triumph Herald or Vitesse, throw away the front & back & replace them with 'sporty' GRP bits). There was an early Scirocco hurtling down the A1 around 0800 too. Oh, and Wednesday, a lovely Austin 7 (maroon with black mudguards) leaving the Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln.

THE FEW. Bottoms up. Happy landings, Boys.

When you stand downwind

"Aquatic mammals don't enter into it!" 'I gotta slug' "Can it talk?" 'Not as such'......

Coming along very nicely and a lot bigger than the ones I'm building. Underwing thrusters, that's what they are. Thanks. Magnets? There is a steel washer in the front of the main fuselage and two small magnets in the back of Junior. It took a bit of testing to get the correct distance between them. They could still be closer though.

He's a Mammoth size

I'll solve it tomorrow

Action, detail, rust and grubbiness. Oh, and WW2 as well. What's not to like? And yes, more if you want to show them please.

You'll need a wheelbarrow full of custard then.

Blue? You rebel!

Petrol is up to one pound thirty a litre. Oil is costing them $70 odd per barrel. When it was $100 per barrel a couple of years ago, was it this price per litre? I can't remember. Surely we can't be being ripped off?
