Having to pick up the slack caused by workshy, erm, ‘colleagues’ who’ll come up with any old bullsh*t to avoid doing work so it gets heaped on the rest of us… :mad::mad:

Glad i got dibs on the jav when i did! 🙂

Sounds like you really got the ****ty end of the stick at the mo. Everything crossed for you…

Know what you mean- just run down from Silloth, got back home, and the glowing ball in the sky’s finally deigned to put in an appearance…

On a slightly less silly note;

It is a shame that so few of the CASA 2.111s survived but sadly in those days what was in effect a twin engined WW2 bomber just wasn’t a viable proposition for those interested in operating warbirds.

Anybody know what’s happening/what the grand plan is with the CASA at Duxford?

Think the Welsh escape was covered on Coast a bit back, they were all rounded back up eventually though.

I wonder if some poor old guy passed away….

It’d be sad his work has ended up in the skip if that’s the case, good that Mrs. H rescued them though. Suppose unless someone sees the pictures on the forum and says ‘hey, I recognise them’ we’ll never know.
The husband of one of my mum’s former work colleagues up in Co. Durham has the most amazing model collection I’ve ever seen, both beautifully built ones and mint boxed ones dating back to the 60’s. God knows what’ll happen to them when he passes.

On a far smaller scale, a friend recently passed away and left me many lovely tools ideal for looking after my MG and the other locally based ones I get summoned to with the phrase ‘can you just…’
Some of them even originally came from the Abingdon MG production line and are still marked as such.
The quality is just so much better than anything you can get today without paying in arms and legs. And everything is in beautifully made cases, none of your cardboard and blown plastic crappy packaging. I’m sure they’ll outlast me.
