  1. Thanks for the info mate. Would love to visit the Yorkshire Air Museum. Have never seen a complete Wellington in the flesh, so would be worth while for me. The museum I gave the link too also displays some Wellington wreckage showing that geodetic frame. I think they also have a complete tail section, but i didn't see it. Gerry Tyack actually worked on Wellingtons, so if Wimpey's on are your thing, that place is well worth a visit. A friend of his during the war, made a scale model of a wellington bomber out of the window perspecs from the cockpit. He was actually just prepaying it for the display when I met him. Great stuff isn't it
  2. You are welcome mate. And big respect to you too for doing your bit mate. Must have been so amazing to parade with those men. A credit to you - Well done. Its Nice to know in this political PC world, there are a few people around today that know the true meaning of 'sacrifice' and appreciate those, that have done so. unfortunately, there is less and less people alive today that remember such dark times when true heros were born. We should celebrate them, whilst we still can.
  3. This weekend I took the miss's to the Cotswolds (btw, Bourton-on-the-Water is an amazing place and well worth a visit). During the stay I got talking to a old chap called Gerry Tyack who was your stereotypical RAF veteran, complete with handle-bar mustache and amazing wartime stories. The man operated a private aviation museum which basically comprised of some ww2 wreak relics, photos and artifacts. But for me, the really interesting stuff was his wartime stories he told. During the war, he was friends with an American p-38 pilot, and at the time, the p-38 was quite a big deal and a formidable aircraft. One evening he had the privilege of a private display by his friend and managed to take a seriously amazing photo of this p-38 flying inverted over and airbase. Was just incredibly. So if you're in the area, into aviation and fancy some british history, i recommend you visit http://www.wellingtonaviation.org. Well worth the time. Oh, and as a gift, he gave me some "window" foil ribbon that was a primitive form of wartime chaff (countermeasure). Something I'll treasure.
  4. That reminds me,... Humm,... dib dib time again. "Mommy!!!"
  5. Had the pleasure of having a sneak look at this phenomenal build on Saturday,.. and all i can say is WOW! This car has been built to such a painstakingly high standard, its pretty much at the pinnacle of Supra modification and seriously doubt, it will ever be repeated. Looks so clean and tidy, i could eat my dinner off it! A true testament to your skill and work Ibrar. Thanks for showing me around
  6. I hear the Native Kayapo Indians have yet to learn of this thread, so at least not everyone knows my pain Graham, Its time to grab the indiana Jones whip and hat, then travel to South America..... Spread the word my friend, spread the world!
  7. LOL! Who was the previous owner? I think the awareness of this thread is now at saturation point world wide. Pity the mir space station has closed down. We could have sent them a link

  15. Any landscape gardeners know where I can get some white plastic weed membrane to go between the soil/sand and white stones. Just doing some gardening and can't seem to find any anywhere Black seems to show through between the white stones. Needs to let moisture through but not weeds. All help appreciated
  16. TRD Jazz. Your car really suites it. And that sticker is a Union 76 graphic. 76 is a chain of gas stations located within the United States. Popular with NASS (or is it NAZZ) cars
  17. Welcome to the wonderful world of Supra financing.
