  1. It had a really distinct whistle and a whine that other Dart-engined things didn't have. The prop blades were very square-ended - maybe that had something to do with it, but there was just no mistaking it.. It also had one of the best 'faces' - the lower viewing window was slightly offset and gave it a sort of quizzical look.. It often appeared as a character in RAF cartoons..
  2. Few planes get better-looking as they get modified, but the MR3 was the nicest, I think - the tricycle undercarriage really suited it. There was a better video using a lot of that footage, but it's gone 'private' now, for some reason. A lot of aircraft were quite recognisable from their sound, but the Shackleton was unmistakeable. The Argosy was another, no mistaking that, either.

  17. Blonde walks into a library, goes straight up to the counter and says "Two bags of chips, please." The librarian patiently says, "This is a library." "Ooh, sorry", says the blonde, and whispers "Two bags of chips, please."...

  20. Marvellous! The Tourist Board could use that..
  21. Just in case anybody is confused, the polarity of the LED does matter, as above, but the resistor is the same whichever way round it is connected, and in whichever leg it is - so, just get the resistor somewhere in series with the LED, have the LED the right way round ( long leg is positive ) and all should be well.
  22. Indeed. As long as it is in series with the diode, it is of no matter where it is.
  23. Same here - still getting the original failure, but able to see those above.. This whole thing is improving in leaps and bounds..
  24. Attachments 6116 to 6121 don't work for me.. .. Ah, not just me..
