Or even a Sunday night - http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/0114/longford-town-shooting.html - ?

Oi! I'm not that old, you know..!

First thing I ever drove.. ..Swedish UN chap let me have a go - I was 14, I think..

And an i-pad defibrillator - http://www.firstaidwarehouse.co.uk/xpp-ipad_semi_automatic_defibrillator.html

I built a layout for a friend in a concrete garage, unheated, and then extended out under a boarded-in car-port - virtually outside, except from being sheltered from the rain. For the winter months, there could be problems with bad connection from the track, especially if it wasn't run for a few days. The bit under the car-port suffered with the rails contracting in the cold at the same time as the wood expanded with the damp and vice versa in the summer - the bit in the garage didn't suffer as badly, though the runs were shorter in there. Stock-wise, there was little problem. Conditions in an attic are unlikely to be more extreme, this one was almost 'outside'... Another friend has a large layout in a (very) well-insulated attic and all is fine.

Yes, that's more like it - the other one had several different names over the years..

That scene just has to be recreated..!

Might be worth a try, though - no sign of any reserve... One of them is Campeltown - if it turns out to be knackered we could just run it into St Nazaire on March 28th and blow it up - although last year would have been a better anniversary, round figures and all that... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Nazaire_Raid

Indeed - 'tis a big beast. If you have any money left - https://www.gov.uk/commercial-sale-of-type-22-frigates - this would help to avoid the ferry costs....

Cosford is well worth a visit - full of weird stuff. http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/things-to-see-and-do/on-display.aspx?museum=Cosford&location=Research+%26+Development And it's free - except for the car-park... ...or on the day of the Air Display. The chaps that brought O'Connell Street over for Warley went there.

You can stretch your legs in the front of this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_Meteor_F8_%22Prone_Pilot%22 - but behind you, though. It still exists - it's in the Cosford Museum. Just hope that you don't have to get out in a rush...

A chap once tried to explain to me the experience of flying a helicopter. "Imagine trying to balance a pneumatic drill on your head, whilst you're burning pound notes as fast as you can"...

No - here. The Harrier is here, at the Main Gate. You only need to look at the size of the exhaust - bigger than on a teenager's Subaru..

There used to be the front of a Vulcan in a front garden a few miles away from here, but it's gone now. The local RAF scrapped a Javelin without saying anything a few years ago. I would have got it here somehow. They replaced it with a rather more dainty Harrier. I never found out what happened to their Bloodhound, though. That would be nice in the garden. There was a Ferret in a back garden in Wolverhampton, but I can't find it on Google earth now - A good few years since I last saw it.

That was just my first, semi-educated, guess - before I Googled a bit...

There's a Wessex just across the road from me here... ...should I make an offer?

Postage..?

I've seen the one here trundle through Stafford a few times, when I used to go to Holyhead on the train..

Nothing to do with me - just the result of a Googling. No idea if it's right or wrong, myself. Railcargricer1 says -There are additional Donelli Gantries 770, 772 and 774 772 is generally confined to loading in Portlaoise while the other gantries travel the country as required.

Looks like it - referred to here - http://irishrailcargricersassociation.yuku.com/topic/606#.UPMTYR1Wx8E .

Nene Valley Railway, I believe.

Genius.

Trying to find a video of a multi-clamp buffer in action, I came across this non-relevant, but highly amusing clip...
