Misfit Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 (edited) Very true Hamish, times have changed, I too spent many years visiting my grand parents in Dartmouth, camped on the fields approaching Man Sands even driven down the stony track to the beach. I have travelled the river Dart on a ferry, in my dell quay dory many times. Sailed out from Philips yard on a friends 30ft yacht, travelled down the spectacular coast line visiting the beaches the little coves in both, crossed over the Dart in both the higher and lower ferries and yet although times have changed, I still can’t get over the spectacular, breathtaking scenery this area offers, which I just love.

RogerH Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Had a nice run down to Dorking for the Thames Valley group meet. M25 behaving itself. And then some nice country roads to let the 4A engine purr along. A couple of TRaction engines turned up. I beautiful condition Then a third TRaction arrived complete with two lady drivers.

RogerH Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 (edited) Yesterday me and Sue popped over to an ex-quarry lake (Little Britain). We've had a bit of rain lately. The lake had risen about 3 ft and was over flowing into the River Colne. This caused the river to swell and a ford close to where the attach pic was about 5ft higher than normal. The water you can see had come up the road and blocked off a foot path for the Hillingdon way. A couple of walkers got to the puddle and the man was stuck. Unlike his wife he had no wellies. So I came to the rescue in my Amphi-TR - he sat on the rear wing whilst I ferried him all of about 10ft to dry land. Roger Edited April 3 by RogerH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derek I’m reading this on my iPad and out of curiosity typed Bari into the Apple Maps app to see where it is. I was surprised to see that it offers a Flyover view option, not something I’d seen before. Separately, while I usually avoid all other things Google, and still having to remove their cookies on a daily basis, I occasionally look at possible destinations on Google maps Streetview option. It gives an appreciation of street level views of unfamiliar locations, which may be useful for driving or sometimes just to help decide whether it’s worth going Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ralph Whitaker Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Had a run on Sunday to my first show of the year at Elvington Air Museum. Great day and entry included to the museum. Lots of aircraft to drool over, but I had to take a photo of this. Surely designed by Gerry Anderson of Thunderbirds fame. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ralph I designed a very similar looking cab when I worked for Cab-Tech in the early 90's. Our client was Simon-Gloster-Saro (the latter part of the merge were formerly the aircraft manufacturers). I fell out with the the owner of cab-Tech ..big time., when he insisted on entitling our tender for the contract a 'crash-cab'. It wasn't. It was a weather cab of tubular steel clad with aluminium. Although I conceived its quite substantial tubular steel structure to include three continuous loops (roll-over bars) over the cab (which the above design clearly doesn't have in their side windows) - I doubted if the cab would protect its occupants in the event of it being rolled. According to official reports and photographs I had at that time, such an occurrence was not unusual. With 46-tonne behind the cab and some airports, such as Hong Kong, having open (very broad and deep) monsoon drains - I felt their seven-man fire crews had a right to know. P.

Ralph I would've loved to have my hands on the spray nozzle of that yesterday with all the Mamals (lycra louts) clogging up the local roads. Went out for a leisurely blat and ended up behind them everywhere I turned, mostly riding 4-6 across completely blocking the lanes anywhere you could risk overtaking them. The only fitting justice per se was they got stuck behind me at a crossing of Thames where's a single lane bridge so they got to breathe in the loverly smell of my car's exhaust.
