I like to wire them up to the circuit boards from disposable cameras and then charge the capacitors. When people try to pick them up they get tend to go flying. This always makes me smile on a slow day.

Mind you, I usually use 2 pence pieces.

Whenever I stop to pick up coins in the local bar, I usually end up in a scrum, with people jumping on my back and allsorts.

I suppose you could sue them for the turkey and trimmings if you don’t peg it.

You reckon you can finish everything by then Kev? At least you can have a good Christmas – I suggest a massive turkey that year, pud, trimmings, the works. Sod the restrictions you have now – pig out!

And you know i’m always happy to push you around Duxford. Although you aren’t to happy at the standard of my pushing!

(Real reason is that Kev’s a trolley for my camera bag!)

Now I think that’s about it.

27/9/40. The enemy sent a mixed force to bomb Bristol shortly before noon. For the second time in three days No.10 Group Control positioned the Squadron so badly that they had little or no chance of catching any of the bombers over the coast. Both Flight Commanders’ R/T having failed, Yellow Leader, P/O R.G. Miller led the squadron into an attack on the escort of fighters that were seen circling over Warmwell, losing his life in a collision with an Me.110, in which both aircraft appeared to explode in mid-air. Five other Me.110’s and an Me.109 were destroyed by the Squadron (Appendices), as follows :-
F/O Dundas. 1 Me.110 destroyed.
P/O Bisdee )
P/O Crook. ) 1 Me.110 destroyed.
P/O Miller. 1 Me.110 destroyed (in collision)
P/O Staples. 1 Me.110 destroyed.
P/O Agazarian. 1 Me.110 destroyed.
P/O Ogilvie. 1 Me.110 destroyed.
P/O Forshaw 1 Me.109 destroyed.
Deprived of the protection of their escort by 609’s demarche, the bomber formation appears to have been broken up effectively by other fighter squadrons, as testified by messages received from the Secretary of State for Air, the Commander in Chief, and from Sir Stanley White of the Bristol Aeroplane Company. (Appendices)
P/O R.F.G. Miller, whose loss was deplored of his associates, had held a Short Service Commission in the R.A.F. and since joining the Squadron at Northolt on 26th June accounted for 3 plus ½ plus 1/3 Enemy Aircraft destroyed, one probable and two damaged.

Deathclock is all knowing. It is an anagram of the oracle of Delphi.

Just with some different letters.

Ho Ho Ho.
