    The finishing oils are long chain hydrocarbons that have residual groups to react on the hydroxyl groups in wood to waterproof and protect. But only a monolayer as you wipe off any unabsorbed 20 mins after application. ( Just be careful to let the oil soaked cloths dry out before putting in the bin as they crosslink with themselves exothermally and can self combust).

    Case in point:

    What is it with Aussies & conspiracy theories? This isn’t just about aircraft, it crops up on almost any forum, covering any topic.

    Yes thats correct it was tested and then fitted, airtest this week and hopefully she will be at Duxford for the weekend. Plus the original should be fixed by the end of the week and we have another one to look at tomorrow. So we should have 2 spares now, so a big thank you from BBMF for all of you that have helped us sort out this problem

    Cheers Fluffy

    What was the resident gremlin in the original? knackered O-rings ?

    Thanks for the link, but that guy on the other side of the planet to me. I can source just about everything from 2 or 3 vendors here in the US.:) I will be contacting him to see if he has any pics tho.

    Can’t see it as it’s 11.35pm here, but I can clearly hear a U2 climbing out of Plant 42 headed someplace…

    Yes it would be great to hear from anyone involved in the rebuild of a rare machine.

    Not all it’s cracked up to be, downright frustrating at times….

    wouldn’t change a thing 🙂

    I’d perhaps throw something like the following in as a starting point. Anyone else have any thoughts?

    Dear Sir/Madam.

    It is becoming increasingly common to hear of the theft of metal plaques from War Memorials nationwide. These Memorials are a lasting reminder of the lives of those who paid the ultimate price in ensuring such freedoms as we enjoy today. The lives these Memorials represent are their legacy to us. Even now, when British men and women are fighting and dying in the service of their Country, is it not imcumbent on us to recognise their sacrifice and ensure that these War Memorials remain undisturbed?

    To this end, I urge members of Parliament of all parties, the Police Service, Councils, local and National Press and those in the scrap metal industry to begin a concerted campaign to ensure the future of the Memorials to those who have died in the service of their Country.

    Regards,

    kev35

    Theres actually a realy simple solution:
    Pass a law that makes interfering with/removing/vandalizing war memorials punishable by a sentence 15 years minmum.

    The only people who would oppose such a punishment need to be looked at very closely by those who favour it..

    Regarding our Pikey chums, who are no doubt the chief suspects here, it is a very one sided situation. They get given everything to cater for their travelling ways, but yet they continue to theive, trash and upset most areas they visit. Yet the Police won’t go near them and the law does nothing. I know from recent experience on the trading estate that I work that the Police won’t intervene no matter what these people do. A business across the road from us had to fork out £3000 to get them off his property after they invaded his car park and refused to budge. The law did nothing to help. Why do we have to give in to these theives?

    Sorry to rant…and off tropic I suppose….

    Regards;
    Steve

    Well, one guy did have a plan for dealing with them….but we stopped him before he finished the job;)
