Didn't it go out the other day? I am looking forward to the Olympics with great excitement, especially the opening ceremony. Only because I am excaping to Alaska the next morning for 2 weeks. Mike

Have you no noticed the strange glowing orb that has appeared in the skies over the UK:shocked: Many people have gone into shock. Others have fled to fallout shelters, tube stations and other underground places to wait out the crisis. Meanwhile those older one who can remember (and think for themselves) have realised it is called the SUN:D As such we are all outside enjoying ourselves and ignoring the computor. I am sure there will be a load of activity when normal service is resumed. Mike

show report Belvoir Castle Steam Festival & Family Show
mike65 replied to Smithy's topic in The meetings log and photobook
Good pics Do like those ones of the stuck vehicles been pulled out, especially by those nice old tractors. Mike -
Yes spotted that but was still a dot on the 300mm lens, A Jet Provost/Strikemaster also passed over much late.About 30 minutes or so before I went home. (only half a dozen or so cars left in the public parking by then) Thanks seeing pictures from shows I was not at also something I enjoy. Thanks again, I also have no idea what the little tracked tractor was, hopefully some kind soul will come and tell us. Mike

That is a well known fact with us who caress, cherish, fiddle, molest (however you want to put it) and lavish our hard earned pounds on our loved ones. Even if the other half does not understand:-D. Sadly the modern motorist seem to treat a car with less attention than a phone. I think thry believe a car is safe (has an airbag after all) but if the phone battery goes flat their life and the world will end. Mike

Also on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18146326 I like this bit Owners of classic vehicles will still be legally required to ensure that they are safe and in a proper condition to be on the road At times I think classic vehicles are the only vehicles that are safe and in proper condition to be on the road.

Was a good day at the Bunker Bash today. Despite being in the middle of the wettest drought since Noah built an ark I seem to have caught a bit of sunburn. Thought I would post a few pictures. Yes there was and unscheduled flypast by the BBMF Dakota The potholes at the show are slightly smaller than those on the roads. Mike

question Gravity Feed Fuel Solutions_How did you do yours?
mike65 replied to Rover8FFR's topic in MV Chatter
Petrol tank of a motorbike or the like. Mike -
Almost brained myself on the garage door today, must park further away, as I jumped out the back of the Land Rover. Something I do when I hear interesting aircraft, and 4 merlins are very distinctive. No camera handy though. She came down the valley and banked round and went back up. Apparently doing a flypast at Asheridge, a mile or 2 up the road. By all accounts a Lancaster crashed there in 1945. Mike

question Under cover storage
mike65 replied to Adrian Scott's question in I may be stupid, but......
Can't help much but I do know that storage charges for caravans are based on size. You may need to take that into account as a jeep takes less room that a Scammell. Mike. -
I remember a thread about them. Are these the ones. No pics but some YouTube links http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?25020-Tank-Recovery-%28-from-Sea-%29&highlight=dive Mike

You are probably in two of the best places then. Mike

Welcome in over here. Have I just come across you over on the EMLRA? That's an interesting hobby you have had there. However with this drought I expect those skills are coming in handy:-) Mike

I was just outside Amersham then. Who knows I could have cycled past your house. Would have been in in 79-81. They do say you are only six people away from meeting anybody. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_separation In fact it turned out that when the wife was 6/7 she used to go on holiday to the same place and time as a bloke I used to work with who was a similar age. Just goes to show how easily it could be true. Mike

Here's a "few" bits that someone may find useful.
mike65 replied to Pzkpfw-e's topic in Tracked vehicles
Thats well cool. Looks like something Gerry Anderson would have had in Thunderbirds. Mike -
Mine is kind of simple Spitfire 1a AR213 taken at a dampish Shoreham in 2008 Remember seeing it many a time a Booker. Used to cycle there every few weeks in the summer when I was younder. That was about 11 miles each way. Must have been mad. One very nice aircraft. Mike

Neil I thought we pointed you in the right direction over on the EMLRA Union (adapter) to thermo oil brass pocket ,, 264529 1/4" BSP x 5/8" BSF Well that is according to a resident expert. By all accounts Craddocks/Dunsfold had some. Did ot turn out to be wrong part, or did you forget in the excitement of buying more expensive stuff. Can't blame you a piffling junction is far less exciting. Mike

Totally agree, was said it jest. Even if the "F" was the only salvageable bit I would not do it. Somehow it does not seem right. The trick is judging when it is worth salvaging or replacing. Mike
