Swedish translation of Phantom is Fantom so if they used one, they did not use its original name.

Only yesterday in deepest Cornwall, I entered a bakery and asked (in my Kentish accent);

“Do you do those lamb minted pa(r)sties, please?”

all the chattering from the customers ceased in an instance, the baker just stared back at me, along with another three sets of eyes.

The silence continued for several seconds.

I felt secure in the knowledge there was a counter between me and the guy with the apron holding an 8 inch knife. I briefly glanced at the door behind checking my escape route and noticed a piece of tumbleweed making its way down the high street.

I felt a bead of sweat run down the side of my head, the old biddy next to me was rummaging through her oversized hand bag for something.

I knew there was a line in the sand and I had stepped over it.

“What?” he said

“Er……..Cornish pasty please!”

…and blooming lovely it was, too:D

He was so hacked off they were Anson, he threw them in the local tip.

I rescued them (at cost:rolleyes:) and they now sit in my garden:)

If you want to actually STOP the corrosion then it has to be ACF50.
The downside is that it is very expensive but is does work and can be painted over afterwards.
Is this a DH prop.
If you need a hand Barry i have a small trailer set up with gen/comp to blast the atomised spray into the surface.20 min later it could be painted

Sounds like you can teach me a thing or two. Are you in the area?

I’m playing spitfireman stuff this weekend but should be free the following weekend (or week day even)

Wouldn’t mind a hand if you’re available, sure I could muster another forumite.

Baz

Not a problem, I inhibit my B17 props twice a year, three Spitfire blades not going to add much to the bill. I’ll chat to ‘Sheds’ (C.O.) of RAF St Mawgan and get permission.

Do you want it black with yellow tips again?

Baz

When I first saw it 2006ish no mention of where it came from.

Dr Strangelove I believe goes there regularly, perhaps he can update whether its still there or not?

Its my old mate John Coombes baby, did the doorman remain upright??
