A good technical library could benefit all members even those who are unable to access area groups or travel far to shows. I think a scanning system to transfer more popular books to disc & then printed to order, like several companies do now at quite a price. These copies would not be free, to discourage frivolous ordering, but made available for a £5 or £10 sort of thing not the £50- £65 region commercially available. Although we are all here into PCs, pdfs & discs once you produce a disc, some toe rag will clone them sell them on ebay or do cheap copies for friends who may not be members. Also a microfiche to PC scanner would unlock some useful stuff, my fiche collection is about 2 feet thick. But its too much of a fiddle getting the reader out & taking a digital pic. These machines are around I looked a few years ago then they were £6000 but I remember when a domestic scanner broke the price barrier at £199.99 now what are they £25 or so? Let's hope fiche scanners come down in price as well.

Not really Tony, so how would it work?

Richard a bit slow of the mark tonight then ;-)

It certainly looks that way Neil, but that's not the answer.

What's this then?

This was my reply to Gary: "I think the spare money should be channeled into the library service to make available more readily to members whatever stuff we have & are likely to have. With museums/libraries closing (eg Airborne forces next month & REME Arborfield at some stage) sources of reference for the ordinary member will get less & less. I can buy current MOD documents from DSDC Llangenach, they are closing at the end of the year, they have destroyed all their archives, bloody criminal. So maybe the MVT could gain credibility as a depository for useful documents, as that increases then that will encourage both private benefactors & well motivated service people to deposit stuff in perpetuity for the benefit of members knowing that it will be preserved & appreciated. BTW under the terms of my will, my collection of British Army technical manuals & documents which is about 5,000 items, is bequeathed to the MVT. Seems a pity to lose the resource & at that stage I won't be needing them any more. I wonder if members could be encouraged to bequeath their manuals & memorabilia as these are things likely to get lost or chucked out, whereas the vehicles are a more tangible asset & likely to be saved & sold on."

I would get one of those mixing attachments for the power drill & mix for at least 20 minutes. Once you are conviced all the pigment is fully cleared from the base decant it into jam jars so that you will always have the same 'mix' of paint each time you use some. In service, tins of IRR paint were required to be inverted every 6 months & left to be turned again after 6 months.
