Hi. Daz, Many thanks for the info, I am going to have to put”Riding a horse” on my “To do” list before I snuff it, I bet it feels a long way up in the air.
Thanks again.

Missed this earlier – it made me smile, though, thinking of you on a horse!!:diablo::diablo:

I can imagine the scene:)……at least with the smart phone I have now always got a camera, although not necessarity the best for every job!!

What a simply wonderful story!!:):)

….one television channel – in black and white, all live, except for film excerpts and inserts. And all on a 9″ screen.

Didn’t Ipswich get waterlogged? They were a great couple, although I only met Merlyn a couple of times, and as a fairly regular flyer you felt like one of the family. The chilled salads were very appetising and the whole experienced was a delight. 20 minutes check-in time I seem to recall and time from engine stop to driving away in the car less than 10 minutes!!

This topic within the thread is becoming quite nostalgic……

Indeed, but I am trying to be realistic, knowing they have a very long way to go, but I am unclear at what point they have to ground her, if funds are not forthcoming. Hence my question to anyone who knows the answer.

The whizzy wires!! I had forgotten them! And wires reminds me of trolley buses, not trams, which ferried me to school for a couple of years. And the conductor using the long pole to change over the connectors, whatever they were called.
