A plane hopefully ? (lol) :dev2: :diablo: 😎 😀 😉

I probably won’t know till the next day , the good lady has volunteered to drive to ‘Weegieland ( Hubcaps in the boot naturally ) as I’m stuck behind this PC until 2300 on Weds night , I intend to go home with a massive cargo and be comfortably numb before she arises for the drive . 😉 😀

Good, it’s Lanzarote for my winter break this year then.

Thats where I’m heading next week , flying from Glasgow next Thursday morning at 0900 , don’t know who with or what on !! . 😮

That would be SL721, a MkXVI 😉

OK Smartypants , where is it now , who owns it and when will its prop be fixed ??? 😀

I’m in Bothwell and can pick up Edinburgh most nights , esp around 23:00 – 12 movements in an hour or so – although the local Plod are worth listening to as well !!!.

Is it red or are my eyes playing up ?? , 🙂

My dad has always been into bikes so I got the bug early – YamahaTY80 , TY175 ( both are in my Avatar ) , 2 Ossa 250s , an Ossa 350 , 2 Kawasaki KX250s , on the road Kawasaki ZZR600 , Kawa ZZR1000 , Yamaha YZF 750R , Yamaha YZF750SP , Ducati 900SS ( crashed – still own it ) ,Ducati 888 ( still own it ) , 4 Honda VFR 400s ( all smashed ) , Suzuki GSXR750 SRAD , Yamaha R1 ( long term loan – smashed) , Honda VFR800 , and many others which didn’t last long – Yamaha V-Max springs to mind , ouch .
Trackdays , I have an ex-Supersports CBR600 which is reasonably well known ( I will refrain to name drop ) and an Aprilia RS250 . Anybody who fancies arranging a meet at one of Jamie Whits Trackdaze ??? .

I’ve tried googling for without success to answer a question that came up in conversation.

I undestand that most DHC1 Chipmunks have now been converted to electric start. So what was used for the original starting method? cartridge? if so how did that work?

Coffman starter , usually in a magazine of 6 , really just a shell without the warhead , BANG and the outrush of hot gases spin the engine over fast enough for it to start . Canberras use the same system – thats what the bullet shaped protrusion is on the engine intake .
