thought I had seen the top somewhere, its a Hot Water Tank Expansion vessel of some kind,
They are used to presurise hot water / heating systems and pressure relief.
great creation, love it.

They are made of a thinner guage of metal, and usually have a raised seam.
As well as having a 1/2″ male thread on the outlet.

I agree about the Four Lions, very good film.

Watched The Imitation Game tonight. A lot better than I expected.

I put BBC1 on this morning and caught the tail end of an obituary programme for 2015.
Quite a few who I didn’t realize had left us, and quite a few who I thought had died years ago.

My posts keep bouncing.

Have a good one everybody :very_drunk:

You still haven’t explained how you expect the organisers to guarantee the flying? Perhaps by erecting a giant umbrella and windbreak around the airfield and surrounding area, so they have an ‘indoors if wet’ option?

Even if the Friday has wall to wall sunshine, there is no absolute guarantee of seeing anything fly.
Probable but not certain.

Looking forward to it, a great programme !!
Surely one of the TV highlights of the year.

When I spoke to TFC some ten years back their income from Legends at that time nearly covered their annual insurance costs and nothing more.

Don’t they get anything from the IWM ?

When some years ago I enquired why there is an entry fee at Duxford, while other museums were free. I was told it was
because there were private companies operating there. Which I assume included TFC ? I took this as meaning that they
received a percentage of the entry fee, in return for having their hangars open to the public ?

If their insurance costs are “nearly” met over one weekend, that doesn’t sound bad to me.
