  1. Just spoken to Phil W. He says ask for a Series 1 Land Rover oil filter, it is a long thin paper one. Hope this helps. http://www.brookwell.co.uk/products/SERIES_1/all/2_LTR_PETROL/Engine/Oil_Filter/Oil_Filter
  2. Welcome Dave, we are preparing the list of jobs that shifting and lifting around the club house , so be ready.
  3. Welcome in. Please post pictures of your work, there are a lot of Modellers around here .
  4. Soak the end in a greasy glue such as Areldite. best to get some proper metal end clips and afix those. If they are cotton it is worth soaking them in something like Nikwax cotton proof, stops them absorbing water.
  5. Depends where about in Kent. Charge and Start at Welling are very capable, and understanding, and sympathtic.....
  6. Welcome in Sir! Your knowledge will be much called on!
  7. Welcome Neil, you'll find people intrested in all your collections here.
  8. I'd say the other way around. My old Dodges will run in conditions that modern vehicles would disintgrate! :-D
  9. I belive AZ was the designation for Luftwaffe ariel bomb fuses, various types including some with booby traps.
  10. A good dose of propritary spray carb cleaner wouldn't hurt. Funnily enough I was taliking about something similar yesterday. The mecanic of a company called Romeril's in Jersey had a trick. His Fleet consisted of four petrol engined Morris FG, for those of a certain age, the thrupeeny bit Saftey cab, every week he would run the engine up take off the air filter and spray water from a platic mister spary into the carb till the engine stuttered. He always claimed it cleaned the engine out and he didn't have to de coke them. I eventually ended up driving one of his ex charges about, on L plates!

    Airshow 197?

    Memories of my starry eyed youth there! The Bucanner was a beautiful aircraft to watch fly. Jersey had a free air display over the front at St Aubin's bay every year, the bonus was my bedroom window looked out towards the airport. Another memory is the Argosy, BEA flew them and we brought some horses back from Castle Donnington (Now East Midlands) airport on one. Must have been 1970, 71.
  12. Thanks, seen them for sale but I've never had one.

  16. OH the Joy when you get it right! Grown men dancing about arm in arm! :-D
  17. There have been several TV documentrys that covered this. The book Saturday at MI9 by Aiery Neve, makes some references to such things but at the time methods were still 'Classified'. I belive the SOE special kit manaual is now published. Exploding rats and dung are amongst the range available to the discerning sabotuer. Dick Strawbridge demonstarted some of the bizzare designs in his TV series. One of the more simple tricks was the supply of 'Housewife's to prisoners (For those not familiar the Housewife or Huswife is a generic term for the military issue sewing kit, I was issued one in the RN in 1972) At least one neddle was magnitised, float in a puddle of water, instant compass. As a matter of intrest, RAF officers are still exempt from search on MOD sites, the original reason was they could have been carrying escape maps, escape route details and tools, the existense of which where considered 'Most Secret' (Top Secret was an American designation)
