  1. No need to change. Just slap the wings on when you get to the airport...
  2. Stranger things have appeared..
  3. Get some stickers and whack a few Hymeks on eBay..
  4. It is weird, though, that it costs more to post from Holyhead to Dublin than from the Scilly Isles to Fair Isle.
  5. I haven't made many comments on this thread, as I would soon run out of superlatives, or just keep repeating them - but, bugger it, I've got to say something - That is, as Julian and Sandy would have said, Fantabulosa!

    There's a lot of impurists as well.
  7. For only another €100 you could get a Hymek with a sticker on the front..

    Makes sense. It was always handy for me - I could leave my stuff in the van and it would be at the foot of the bridge when I got out..

    It may not be 100% true, but I noticed that, on the trains out of Heuston, the EGV was always at the Galway/Tralee/Cork end of the train.
  10. He hasn't even railed it properly...
  11. And there was you thinking, "Sofa so good"...?
  12. Not to be messed with - you die very quickly...
  13. When I had a proper job, I once returned to the office, having just done a half-million volt test in the open air, with kit similar to that, only to be told that I couldn't use the kettle because it didn't have a safety compliance sticker on it. I made my tea!
  14. It is good - one of the few where the stick is proportional, rather than on or off ...
  15. Excellent - shame she killed the first four plane-loads, though.. Have you tried the excellent flight simulator in Google Earth? Control/Alternate/A will bring it up - very good, especially hammering up and down the Swiss valleys - and you don't even have to shoot at people..
  16. Please! Not whilst the the train is standing in a station.!
  17. Excellent - how long are you there?
  18. Startling!
  19. This is a later version. Ours was a fully enclosed box that protected from a fall in any direction - I wouldn't want to drop one of them too far, if it rolls over during the fall, it could get exciting... It doesn't matter too much now, though, they only have to transport them up the motorway, I suppose. The old ones were intended for worldwide replenishment.
  20. Possibly with a pony-tail....
  21. I can't find any pictures of the cases anywhere - they were a rivetted and framed aluminium case with a suspension system that was supposed to cushion the impact if it was dropped from 75 feet. The white patch here is the remains of the concrete pad that we dropped them on. I have had to inform MI5 that you are in possession of this information....
  22. Strangely enough, we did actually make the transport cases for the Spearfish torpedo, as a bit of a sideline....

    New Irish Lines

    I gave up with it and am using Google Chrome - if I can do it then anybody can.
  24. Don't thank me - thank whoever put that up on here in the first place...
