Hi Jim, The fuel consumption was the figure quoted on the program, and here's me complaining about my insurance going up by £200.

It was on Thursday night Martin, I forgot about it but watched it on the app today. Great achievement, not cheap to run 3 gallons a minute £250000 for the propeller. I hope you are well.

The x mount is like me I've short arms plus deep pockets. It's annoying, I use 3mm capheads and nuts, having a small milling machine I elongated the holes to enable the bolts to fit. A needle file would also do the job.

I bought mine in the North East, at least 2 Lidl stores in the area have them.

Lidl have these bench sanders in at the moment £35 I've just bought one quite compact with an adjustable angle table 125mm diameter disc.

Tempest 2 plan view, note radiator and oil cooler, Seafury similar

Used it on my Dennis Bryant Fury and VQ hurricane, 5s on both, still had to put lead in the Hurricane

It would be more like a Tempest 2 as the Seafury had quite a different fuselage. But then would the FW190 nose be big enough?

Seems like your mind is fine, so let's hope you can soon go flying again.

Best wishes to a full recovery and I hope you live as long and as healthy as me, I am double your age.

Turn the sound off Martin, I did

It's the same up North , very slow this evening. Not surprised with all this rain, I would not want to work 😒

Looks like the Wills Hawker factory is on double time , it must be the none alcoholic drink you form the balsa round, or is that for the boys? Looking good Richard but I think an ark is required up here the rain has not stopped all day.

Deeper treads are more likely to retain screws etc. My previous car a Mercedes B class was the most puncture prone car I ever owned, two nearly new tyres written off, one by a broken bottle in the road side and the other with a chisel from a jack hammer.

More holes than Aero chocolate

Cannon blisters on my Cml Spitfire no added weight, oil pastels

I wouldn't like to put a 61 fs in a Durafly Spitfire Paul.

Back in the 1970s we rented a large house for two weeks on a hill overlooking Torbay. Checking over the house I went upstairs and the bedroom window had a balcony with unrestricted views over the bay. I heard the drone of an aeroplane in the distance, it was a Swordfish. It seemed to take forever to get across the bay as it passed where I was standing it was only slightly higher than me, a fantastic sight. I have heard the German ships had trouble shooting them down as they were too slow for the gun sight synchronisation, they did not fare so well against the fighters.

A good Sam Smith outfit, you will ger them in that.

They do it on porpoise

I must have been short changed, my Warbirds FW190 is 52" span

Welcome back, it is probably the same Ken Anderson who contributes to this forum, he started the funnies thread. You could try giving him a P.M I'm sure he would be happy to see his limbo dancer still exists.

Hi Chris, mine stays on the dolly till I give it a touch of elevator. Flying alone I run it to the edge of the strip then take off that,way that way I'm clear for landing. Being the old man of the club, when others are there the recover the dolly for me and complain if I take it too far away.

Long legs are fine for the 190 Chris

Not so calm in NW Durham, nice to see the sun and blue skies, flew the Warbirds FW190 and broke a prop first landing, gusty conditions replaced prop and carried on. Also flew my depron 109f. 5 turned up today.
