  1. Try looking at it upside down..?
  2. Even in the 1970s, when I started at a large factory in England, there were five levels of canteen - more stratified than the Army...
  3. Might it be worth a 'dog-bone' shape - a bit wider at the ends? You would benefit from wider curves.
  4. With access from both long sides, five foot wide is well doable, in my opinion. You might like to make the odd tall item removable, should you need to lean into the middle at some point when things are all in place. Just try it out on a kitchen table... I had one that was four-foot and single-sided - though that was a stretch..
  5. I saw this and thought of you - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-31594956 .
  6. I've seen other examples of Mike's work in real life - and it's all good stuff.
  7. No, 'tis the Dave who is Dave - http://irishrailwaymodeller.com/member.php/165-Dave .
  8. Kernow say it's in stock - http://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/product/31416/89111_Heljan_Electronic_Turntable_DCC_Ready .
  9. If it can be done H0...... [video=youtube;7-Ry4XJNJSs]
  10. Hard enough to hide the motor, but you've no chance with the speaker..
  11. Pay too much attention to the basics and you don't get the picture - or you drive into him.... Fairly safe from MiGs over the North Sea back then. About one write-off a week back in those days - http://www.ukserials.com/losses-1970.htm * * don't read the notes with some of these, if you're concerned about people doing things properly....
  12. I've never heard of anybody having any issues, but I do wonder about flammable solvents and the possibility of the odd spark..?
  13. Raymond Baxter explains it here, at the end... [video=youtube;-pVAAcwaFMI] .when the Bear came to Fairford in 1993..
  14. Bloke here - http://www.projectoceanvision.com/vox-06.htm - admits having it done to him in a Phantom - there's a lot of things to look at... ..they probably wouldn't do the sonobouy trick these days..
  15. Mersey Ferry Snowdrop - it used to look like this..
  16. Sir Peter Blake's Snowdrop has finally emerged - in service in a few weeks for a couple of years.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-31550135
  17. They might have risked flying it out to Malta in the hope that it would get sorted out by the additional ground crews available there..? ..or, maybe the rats were trying to find a way out to a place of asylum..?
  18. Going back to the Shackleton, I wonder if the demise of WR986 at Safi is unique in aviation history? 'Rat infestation'. http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=157361 ..perhaps they needed an additional crew member..?
  19. Various "games" do go on - we tend to see pictures taken in clear weather - in less perfect conditions, keeping station beside the intercepted plane is not at all easy. On more than one occasion, the Bear has drifted downwards in cloud, until the intercepting pilot has suddenly found himself at 150 feet. Tu 95 seems to be a remarkably reliable device - has one ever crashed outside Russia?
  20. Well, he's definitely famous now... [video=youtube;ut6D-1akP_w]
  21. That applies to most maritime/patrol/surveillance/AEW aircraft.
