Re: Wanted,Temperature operated cowl flaps

Phil , Alan says in his first line he is selling the plane but leaves out his price, perhaps this is the clue but perhaps he is also setting himself up for a bit of banter, Alan how much would you like? And then of course what's the discount for everyone but Phil

Re: An Update on the UK Regulations for Model Flyers
No terrorist will register, well he might but more then likely not, and yes the point of registering is seemingly to give some mate a title and fat paycheck and a few others a job at minimum wage to make it all look good.

Re: An Update on the UK Regulations for Model Flyers
Rubbish you may view it as but sadly I lived through terrorism in two countries, some called them freedom fighters. It was not unknown for babies to be killed and their bodies stuffed with explosive and denoted by the mother whose back the child was strapped to. Or for schools and churches to be att...

The current situation is such that any attempt...

All the clutter in the workshop show just how busy a man Arthur is, if any silly bigger were to tidy it Arthur will find nothing as he knows where all is.
