Easy way to create PDF from Word documents. Once you have created/opened your Word document in Word select “SAVE AS” from the “FILE” menu. In the window that opens there is a box labelled “SAVE AS TYPE” use the drop down arrow to see a list of file types. Select “PDF” then hit “SAVE” and the file will be saved as a PDF. Has always worked well for me but not sure how it would handle any heavy formatting or embedded items.

A schematic would surely help. If one is not to hand maybe a separate post on the forum might yield results.

I have some photos but for some reason cannot upload any photos.

Had same problem but successful when both image and file size reduced. Success with image width of 1000 pixels and file size was just below 500KB. Think it is all explained “somewhere” in the stickies.

I remember the Carrier Bantam runway control caravan with the big greenhouse on the back at Valley. Don’t know if they still use runway caravans these days.

Yes they do at Valley June 2013. I believe it is based on an Iveco truck. Can somebody please confirm what these are called and a date?

The image here shows more clearly how the guns articulate, scroll right down it is the last image, although the rest is very interesting as well.

No doubt Rich will let us know why WR963 looks a little different.

Rich, no doubt like many others I watch this thread with great interest, thanks for all the updates they are much appreciated.

Hi LEHAVRE,
Great colour pic of the Active. I was seeking info on this Active a while back.

The red and white check scheme with the narrow red back we concluded was after 1963 and before 1977. At this time the aircraft was operated by the Tiger Club which was based at Rochester. The picture at Lydd was felt to be April 1969.

The present owners, The Real Aeroplane Company, may well be interested in a copy of your picture!

it shows value of manufacturing output in the UK since just after WWII.

Isn’t the key word here “value”. But how does this relate to numbers employed, quantity produced and apprentices in training? Surely the decline referred to is that perceived from when this tiny island produced much of the engineering for the world. Is it not that the UK produces less but at a higher value using fewer people? (For clarity that’s a question not a statement.) The program the other night about Rolls Royce was very interesting and heartening not only designing here but also building here and apparently competing in the world market. They clearly see the need for an apprenticeship scheme to meet their future needs for a skilled workforce. However, they too very nearly went to the wall and if that had been allowed to happen they couldn’t now be held up as an example of a great British company.
