A Glorious sunny day
Well yesterday was a lovely sunny morning so the Nimwits gathered early to appreciate the warm weather and partake in the butty of the bacon and coffee.
Grand plans were afoot as the museum had to move most of her big girls (no not the Victor team) to make way for a group of people who like to dress up in second world war uniforms (and I thought my hobby was strange) So it was all hands on deck to help Andre move Lusty Lindy because, as it was well before dinner time (or lunch time for those who live down sarff) there was not a Victor bod to be seen. Lindy safely moved we turned our attentions to Kimberly the Maid of Moray, once again Nimchick was on brakes assisted by Howie Le Monkey and off we set, a slight hold up occurred when Kim’s starboard brake unit decided to eat the anti bird netting placed around the U/C leg but this was soon resolved with a few hefty tugs and pulls and Kim was parked up.
Next on the list was the Herald, or as it’s know by one and all ‘that bloody Herald’ it gets in the way on our anti det runs, its falling apart and is generally a scruffy nuisance, however we are not allowed to get rid of it so we have to put up with her. One of her nose wheel tyres was badly deflated so Baldrick and I set off to resolve this simple and menial task, wrong!!! Despite our best efforts and eventually over a 1000psi of nitrogen the tyre did not inflate!! The nitrogen went in, it did not appear to leak and yet the tyre did not inflate. :confused: There was only one thing left to do, dinner time and look who’s sat around the table? Yup the Victor bods had finally surfaced and were trying to sit in the shade as it appears the sunlight does them no good. :p
After Dinner we wandered out to be greeted by a wonderful sight; a fuel bowser parked up next to Kim. We have been desperate for fuel for a month or 2 now and were starting to panic, as the lack of fuel was starting to affect our anti det runs and more importantly the integrity of the fuel tanks on XV250. So 2 of our team sauntered (for sauntered read, ran across quickly in case the bowser drove off) across to refuel the jet, whilst everyone else joined to make one happy team to move firstly that bloody Herald and then the Canberra.
That done it was time for the Victor and Nimrod team to have afternoon tea and Tiffin where we all tried to put the world to rights and generally had a good moan.
Don’t think we will be up to much next week as YAM is being invaded by the home guard, the 3rd battalion Basingstoke foot and mouth and the Kidderminster panzer group. 😮 There might be some joint Victor & Nimrod shenanigans to be had but we will see. :diablo:
Nimchick will post photos later hopefully
