A sort of can-opener/spoon - a bit daft, all right... Yanks had a similar thing. The British had the 'Baby' can-opener, at the bottom, made a bit more sense.

My mate's mob at the Churnet Valley.

I've seen their stuff, the have some remarkable machinery....

A friend of mine has recently become heavily involved with WW2 re-enactment - http://www.gdrecon.co.uk/ - the Germans had some really good kit, I've got him to get me a TSR99 set, a classic design.

It was a couple of months ago - it was in case anybody spotted all the dollar stashes that were going on - they'll be getting their retribution in first - and shortly....

Well spotted - that could be last year's poster - https://www.facebook.com/events/427889943993500/ .

If we thought there was any chance that you might know why, then we might have to spend some of it....

Just remember where it is. My computer packed in a few days ago - sounded like a disc was failing, so I unplugged everything and took it round to my tame geek's place. I found a hundred quid underneath the case - no recollection of putting it there - result! And the disc was working after the disturbance - and has been OK since, too......

It's only money - most of us need to lose weight, anyway.....

Best to let hot money cool down a bit first......

Unless she's the type that dusts the tops of the doors......

Soon get rid of the queue... This is my mate in his Malayan days.

Great stuff! Bren guns everywhere lately, I took this pic on Sunday, for a friend who was upset that they wouldn't let him keep his when he came back from Malaya. I got arrested in Cyprus once, and carted off in a Land Rover. They had cracked the radio battery in their haste to get to me and, by the time they had got me back to HQ, the floor in the back had completely disappeared - a bit of a dodgy ride....

Looks like there may not even be a full-size flying replica - a chap in the USA built a 7/10 scale one, and there's a few others at various scales - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Langhurst - but no full-size ones. Let's get the plans for Glenderg.......

Only two planes left - neither is anywhere near flying - now or ever again - replicas would be the only way. They used Miles Magisters in the Battle of Britain film. Stuka production ended before the war finished and numbers were well down by the end, anyway. Rudel's book - http://www.jrbooksonline.com/PDF_Books/Stuka%20Pilot%20-%20Hans%20Ulrich%20Rudel.pdf - in a big pdf, although, it's not a particularly long book - I do recommend it to anybody interested in this sort of thing, though.
-
The Stuka still has a bad press in the UK, but it was Rudel's plane of choice, right to the end. He was shot down 32 times, but never by another aircraft, always ground fire. He believed that a Stuka would always get you back. There are some astonishing pictures of damaged aircraft that still flew back home.
-
Great stuff. Rudel's book, Stuka Pilot, is well worth hunting down. The only book that I've ever read in one go. I borrowed it from the local library, just on the off-chance that it might be interesting - and was up until four in the morning to finish it. If it was fiction, it would be silly. I wrote to the English publisher and he sent me the last copy that he had in his garage at home. It's out on loan at the moment, but I must read it again. They do turn up regularly enough, though. There is also a photographic book about him by Gunther Just which contains some crazy pictures.

That's a fine bit of land there.

If it's yellow, heirflick'll like it.

I think there were 37 - 141 to 177 - a typo, I would suspect....?

Even works for me...

Don't forget the antimacassars.

Right, I just wondered after the talk of different ventilation arrangements.
