If it was me I'd contact the Institution of Explosives Engineers and ask if there's anyone local who would do something for you.

Andy

What exactly do you want it for? That may determine the sort of person/organisation who could issue it.

Andy

Looks like a convenient stopping point on my next trip to Abbey Wood! :-)

Andy

Something has gone wrong with your link, which I think is a Photobucket problem:

Well deserved praise, and the look on your daughter's face is priceless!

Andy

That looks gorgeous - well done!

You can get over 70mph in a Series 3 with the 2.6 6 cyl engine. Done some long journeys with an ex-army one. Not in UK I hasten to add.

With or without ear defenders? :cool2:

From the Operating Information AESP ...

Judging by the lack of big bangs at 1300 each day I gather the attempts weren't successful?

Andy

Funnily enough I was going to say something about the toilets too - nicely looked after and very pleasant to use.

A real shame about the weather yesterday, but what do you expect for a Bank Holiday Monday? A lot of people had drifted away by lunchtime and when I volunteered to take the RB44 round the arena for the 4pm Post-War vehicles show I was the only one there!

All in all, good fun. Thank you very much to the organisers.

Andy

Does anyone own Chieftain 00FC27 or 02EB58? Their AB413s and other vehicle records are sitting on a stall at Solent Overlord, give me a shout if you want me to grab them for you.

Andy

Thanks Clive - currently watching nature's impressive firework display with sound effects and glad I dropped the mast overnight!

Andy

The RB44 is now safely parked up - gorgeous weather this afternoon as things start to come together, but forecast for rain first thing tomorrow. Might damp down the dust a bit!

(I see we've still got the unwanted thumbnails problem!)

Andy

thanks for all the kind words

 

got to laugh though, i thought i was doing something important but once my wife told me about the bomb i couldn't care less if the tank got cut up, i just wanted to get home where they needed me.

puts things into perspective! however the tank hasn't been cut up and normal play will resume shortly

Good news on both fronts, then. Well done!

Andy

Isn't the important point here that it was a Crown Vehicle with the emphasis on the "was"? Any exemptions it may have had expired when it passed into civilian hands.

Andy

Those aren't Hawkers, just normal wet lead-acids.

Andy

Brilliant - well done!

Andy

Ah - I've just twigged the bit about dusty; Red Duster, of course!

Andy

Don't forget that Seaslug was in the middle of all this, too. I had the experience of visiting one of the last County Class destroyers on a trip to Portsmouth many years ago. All the length of the ship behind the bridge was a missile factory that put all the bits together in sequence until it emerged in a single piece on the launcher at the stern. Amazing!

Andy

Seems to have a booster rocket - is it Red Shoes/Thunderbird?

Andy

Banisters are the usual source of parts for the B8X series engines.

Andy

I think you'll find the site is now a Costco warehouse, judging by Google Maps and my local knowledge. I remember that area being a series of hangars and odd buildings before the site was sold off and redeveloped. Interestingly, one of those hangars (Q Shed) used to house Thrust SSC during its initial development and test runs.

Andy

Have you:

(a) tried the 353 on a different input to the IB3?

(b) checked the continuity of the cable between the 353 and IB3?

(and I hope you're not transmitting without a licence!)

Hi

i am trying to post an image that is uploaded to the attachments file, but I am buggered if I can get it to work. Can someone please tell me I'm idiot speak how to post images on the forum

Read my post No.16 above? The Insert Image icon is in the second row block of four just below the font size and smileys.

Andy

I assume that's electrical interference (suppression) testing rather than Tempest? Whereabouts was this at Farnborough? "Building 36" doesn't tally with the current site numbering system where all buildings have a letter in front of the numbers.
