So your fame is spreading Mr B, and well deserved too. 

Don't keep us waiting too long for the next one, what's it going to be then?

I finally got around to mounting and hanging the war birds. Bits at the ready:

Bits by Ced Bufton, on Flickr

 

This is what I wanted to achieve:

I'd bought a mixture of acrylic rod and decided that the 5mm would be the best - not bendy. I drilled a hole in the top of the frame:

... hung the Spitfire from some invisible thread:

... and realised the length wasn't important as I could twist the thread around the rod to adjust the position:

Note that the rear thread is hitched over the other bits to give me the required angle.

 

Hard to get a good shot but here it is above my desk:

Really pleased to be honest. What a pair of memories.

I dunno Ced

 

The picture is almost superfluous, they make the picture themselves

 

But anyway

 

 

Very fine souvenir of temps perdu  ;)

 

So to speak

Thanks Bill :) Of course, every time I look up I see the wheels too far up in the Harvard. Ho hum. Temps perdu? Relative of yours :D

Thanks Giorgio :)
