Welcome

as you most probably know. I have a mk 4 ferret where there was a problem with the gearbox being stuck in neutral after a 25 year lay up.

Well a strange thing had occurred, I got in it today to open the hatches as its stifling hot, and by chance noticed that the gear change pedal had come up about an inch from the floor, so I poked it with me toe and up it sprung !

i pumped it on all the gears and it makes all the right noises.

can wait to try it out tomorrow when the batteries are back on.

maybe the heat freed the oil or something.

Trouble is, that because I didn't have the facilities to fix it I put it on eBay and it ends tomorrow .

a dilemma indeed !!!!!

Well done ! Your one of a rare breed nowadays

Lucky you Richard, you boys in the east get all the fun, I just get buzzed at 0 feet by every fighter in NATO......puts the chickens off lay......... Bah

Anyone else see the flying boat going over Colchester towards Clacton today. twin engine, with an American emblem on 1 wing. Sorry not clued up on flying boats

Where I work, about 10 miles South of Ashford, there is wide open countryside, often get the RAF doing low level flying though there, but today was different.

 

This morning a lone Spitfire flew over low, heading towards Lydd. In the afternoon I heard a drone and saw a tight formation of 3 Spitfires go by, as I watched them I was aware that they were turning back and that a helicopter was hovering above them no far away, then time and time again they would sweep by, passing under and over the helicopter from all angles. This went on for at least 30 mins ............ work had to stop. Later on I saw the helicopter had returned and that it had a large remote camera on the nose, soon the Spitfires returned only this time they were doing the works, big loops all in the same tight formation, coming over us on every pass, another 30mins or so.

 

I seems these were The Horsemen who are making their debut as a Spitfire display team at Duxford this weekend, check out this link;

Wow... I am really jealous. Nothing chokes me up more than the sight of Spitfires
