  1. I've got AdBlock Plus and uBlock Origin installed for Chrome, they completely block all ads on websites and YouTube. ABP is currently blocking one ad on this site, uBlock is blocking two ads. Definitely recommended!
  2. Ah, I touched on the subject back in November 2020 when I offered to translate some documentation for you (but you said your wife would do it for you).
  3. Excellent work as always, Jon. If you're unsure about any of the wording on items in the vehicle please feel free to get in touch, as I think you know I'm a German technical translator with particular interest in the equipment of WW2.
  4. I have read the whole story, I suppose I must have forgotten! I'll go back & re-check...
  5. Is there a reason you decided to fit an auto box instead of the original 6-speed manual, Jon?
  6. I can understand that... I used to live in France & Germany & did plenty of my own WW2 'field research' when I was over there :-)
  7. Thanks ruxy, I'll add those to my reading list. 31770, sorry for derailing your thread!
  8. Sounds interesting, please let me know the title if you find the book!
  9. All of this and much more is covered in Charles Higham's book "Trading With The Enemy", first published in 1983. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/682306
  10. Yep, I remember it still being used as a generic term in the 70s and 80s at least.
  11. The Internet suggests that FLIT was an American brand name from the 1920s... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLIT
  12. DDT was used as an insecticide by the allies from around mid-1942, and it was released as an agricultural pesticide after the war... maybe a local farmer bought a war surplus decontamination trailer to spray his crops?
  13. It can't be Helvetica, that font doesn't have a flat top 3. There are font search websites out there where you can upload a picture of the font you want to have identified... one of those might be your best bet.
  14. This thread reminds me of the rambling shaggy dog story told by Ronnie Corbett at the end of episodes of the Two Ronnies.
  15. Yep, my dog saw it. But since dogs can't talk to humans it telepathically communicated what it saw to some passing aliens that passed the message on to me in a dream. That's all well and good, but I don't have a dog so I suspect a Government conspiracy to silence me, the dog & the aliens... hmmmm.
