    What a great find, good to see it has been handed in. Extremely interesting regarding the drop height of the cargo, some seem to be at a low height others not quite so.
    Thanks for sharing this.

    I can second brewerjerry’s remarks,I have said the same myself many times in threads about JJ.

    Again for the record, I feel that JJ is best kept as an accessible airframe for everone to enjoy in close up and personal enviroment. The taxy runs allow one to be able to view her up close and now and again,when things are quiet, being able to clamber through for good look around as I and countless others have been afforded on more than one occasion. I feel that if she becomes a live airframe to an airworthiness standard, this type of closeness given to many, would stop. If you wish to see a flying Lancaster then we have the BBMF, want to see one up close without the rules and restrictions? then go to East Kirby.

    Again, just my opinion and one that should not provoke the reaction that has been expressed here. Get over yourself Nashio…. said with tongue planted firmly in cheek 🙂 .

    To break into someones house in the dead of night, and steal their car. Then to be faced with a naked soldier, just back from Afganistan, who may or may not have been in the best frame of mind at being awoken.

    ‘I punched him through the window, and just kept hitting him till he got out of the car’

    I hope that small lesson puts off the little scroat from ever breaking and entering again. Well done mate!, you have my admiration.

    We have quite a choice of supermarkets in this town..not!

    Three tescos, yes three!, one Asda one Sainsbury, and a Lidl.

    I wouldnt give Tesco a penny of my money-period.

    In Asda you have to practically climb over empty cardboard packaging to get to anything, plus the store is laid out in a weird way. The vegetables seem third rate and the meat always seems on the fatty side.

    Lidl is not an option.

    There is no longer a high street Butcher, Greengrocer or Fishmonger in the town.

    That leaves Sainsbury, who by far, have the best meat and veg quality of any store I have been in. We have never had a bad bit of meat or ever had poor quality fruit or vegetables A tad dearer yes, but also the staff are really friendly and the store is clean.

    they might be able to offer additional help.

    I must say that the yellowish primer looks very American to me. The same internal primer colour as parts of a P-47 Thunderbolt I own.
    More knowledgable people than I will no doubt be along soon 🙂

    The frame was black, as was the puddle underneath it every night.

    Sounds like the description for the 750cc Royal Enfield Constellation, one heck of a lump of bike that was! and it leaked by the bucketful, but what character🙂

    Meanwhile in contrast I missed all of the Jap bikes (thank Gawd) and settled for British motorcycles before the YamazukiHondas took over.

    Best in my book?….A Triton hybrid , Norton Featherbed frame and a race tuned Triumph Bonneville pre-con engine.
