But I like pizza.

Seriously though, the ‘underclass’ you refer to, Trolly (though that word disappeared from the tabloid lexicon when they realised it) are to the right of centre in England. I suspect Cameron’s surprise victory had more to do with them putting down the pizza..

Turkeys voting for Christmas, maybe, but a look at the demographics is interesting.

It’s a mirror image, so perhaps simplest way to visualise what you need to do is take a picture then reverse it on computer.. or just put a mirror in front of it. If you are redrawing station profiles it’s the same proposition – reverse them around the blade long axis.

Thanks for all the supportive posts, everyone.

Understood! So, any volunteers in the Ripon/Thirsk area, or who can get there to put in a bit of metal-bashing?

Hi Dave – thread hijack alert – I have seen your PM, and replied! Announcement will be soon 🙂

Edit, actually, thinking about it – you earned it, you go for it!!!

Funnily enough, the Whirlwind had them. Unlocked, they gave a boost to agility by deploying when the angle of attack was great enough. They got locked down flush as a safety measure once a couple of accidents had been attributed to unwanted deployment. Dr. Jim Munro’s research has suggested that some later pilots who tried out the aircraft had no idea that they even existed, and this goes some way to explain why there are two different versions of the aircraft’s potential in a dogfight (though among squadron pilots the praise was unanimous). It has been suggested that some may have been ‘de-modded’ in the field to get the slat functionality back.

It will be from something with a 24v system. R3002 = 12v, R3003 = 24v

So not Hurricane, IIRC?

True enough, Brian. I don’t know what the comparative cost is, but the train has the convenience factor if your getting as far as Cambridge by train anyway!
