    Post WW2 men leaving the armed forces were give a suit of civilian clothing. Grandma had uncle Ds, hanging in a wardrobe for years. Never fitted him from the day it was given, till the day he died. Now two of his sisters served, one WAC the other QARANC. The question is, did ladies get a 'demob suit'. Or possibly extra clothing coupons

    Khaki Drill Kilts. Worn by Scottish Regiments in tropical climates. From Victorian times till when? Were they withdrawn enemas or one at a time as soldiers returned to UK. BillyH

    Thanks chaps, so I'm not going balmy . Looks an interesting clean shape. I worked at Aviation Traders Southend in the early 70's, Carvair was much spoken of but no mention of Vampires. It would be a good project for a model .

    Does anyone recall a project to convert D H Vampires to civil executive jets. Sounds daft in this day and age, reported on some serious TV programme Probably in black and white. BillyH

    Black lead grate polish can be found in Canal Marinas. Lots of narrow boats have solid fuel stoves and don't the owners love polishing everything to a bright shine. BillyH

    Wow , you have put a lot of hard work into those pieces of history. Are they on public display in a museum ?

    How's your project going ? Any photos BH TE=wildside;286432]Ive now got a new old stock carb brand new in its box repacked in 1965 and a new mag in its box. Ive started unscrewing the cylinders now to check the bores and rings and have nearly finished stripping the buried engine that I have. Also i can get the heads tig welded where they are damaged with the cylinders off as moving the engine to the welders would be a bit of a task. Hope fully some photos to follow soon. Hows

    Could be a local mod. to spray anything and every thing. De-iceing fluid, insecticide, disinfectant or what ever. Lots of 'bodge' jobs carried out to fix a local problem. BillyH

    Number 4 cold be a button hole. BillyH

    So it seemed a good idea at the time. Better to pack it in at an early stage, rather than spend a fortune proving it won't work. BillyH:wow:

    Just looked it up, why surf boards in those hills. BillyH
