    I changed the default on my phone this morning and it worked. No adverts on either my computer or phone. Thank you again for information Dan

    Thank you for the advice, it worked when I did it.
  3. For taking green growths off wooden steps my wife uses non-bio soap powder and a brush.
  4. The rivets on the blank sides on the hinges look so much better than if you had to use ready made hinges that were pre-drilled. You have been able to put the rivets in the right place without having to leave or fill the pre-drilled holes. Another fascinating project to watch and enjoy.

    I believe that CVD Irvine was, when you look at Irvine Central Hospital, the cleared area to the north east. The A78 Irvine bypass runs on the other side of the site. It then became the Volvo bus factory before that closed. Eglinton Park was used for training by the army during WW2 and the castle was used for target practice. Dan

    There is also United Bricks who are based in Castle Douglas. They have all sorts of vehicles and uniformed figures. https://www.unitedbricks.com
  7. The Karrier Bantam would most likely have been "plugged into the aerodrome" for power and communications. If something had happened to the vehicle mechanicals then it could have been towed into position. As well as power for radios, hazard and signal lights it would be connected by phone to the controller in the Visual Control Room (the glass room on top of the controller tower) as well as, most likely, the fire station. The runway control caravans are used as a final visual check for departing aircraft and aircraft on final approach. With the small numbers built with specialist bodywork and equipment perhaps it was kept as a trailer but why the ERM would have been changed I do not know. Dan
  8. Matador models have some items that might be suitable: https://matadormodels.co.uk/xengineer/lists engineer.htm Milicast have various models of Bedford RLs https://www.milicast.com/premiere-range-1-76/british-commonwealth-14/softskins-16/bedford-rl-3ton-flatbed-truck-with-air-portable-container-early-production-style-cab.html
  9. Dropping a load of butterfly bombs and small 1kg or 2kg incendiary bombs over an aerodrome would almost guarantee that some would land on your runway and taxi ways. Perhaps the plough is intended to clear such tarmac or concrete areas, it would not be as effective on grass, for operations to quickly resume. During the clearance the driver might be able to push the devices into piles for them to be destroyed in bulk rather than having to remove them individually. According to the 'Bombs Away UXO' website: butterfly bombs were dropped in containers that held up to 108 devices; while the incendiary devices containers held up to 700 devices. An awful lot to clear Dan
  10. Thank you very much for the information. More to think about for ideas and projects. Dan
  11. Hello, can I ask a couple of questions, please? Is it just pop rivets securing the metal skins for the boxes? What thickness of steel are the skins? What are the dimensions of the steel angles used for the frames? Thank you Dan
  12. Brooklands Books have a copy for the civilian models https://www.brooklandsbooks.co.uk/product/land-rover-series-iia-iib-instruction-manual/
  13. I do not understand all this chat about Firefox and Edge and have no idea how to import passwords. Should I ask Regina Celi who now wants to talk to me as well as Veronica? Why is this happening?
  14. Perhaps I should take up Veronica's offer or the unnamed lady who wants to make my day better. Hopefully, this is the right place to reply to things on HMVF without great risk to my personal information and bank accounts.
  15. I think that he is wearing a pair of these boots. He is also carrying a map case. Would officers just be issued with black ammo boots and the brown ones be private purchase?
