  1. I used to keep my risk assessments on that shelf. they often hit the passenger on the head, it was written in the risk assessment
  2. That's going to be interesting Dave Look forward to seeing it on TV. I was involved with a year at Kew on 1 episode. only thing i would say is check the final production before it goes on air.
  3. 3L turbo 53 plate pulls like a train, Does not like to start to well on cold mornings, uncomfortable ride, Carries the weight very well. main dealer will con you for everything he can after sales,well the one here did Sump rusted out after 4 years not covered on warranty, Batteries needed replacing after one year not covered on warranty, if you have a tow bar make sure there is somewhere for the spare tyre. Recalled after 2 years for steering damper modification, Isuzu letter said it was free of charge main dealer wanted to charge. Paint job on roof so thin you could see the primer through it, 15 to 20 MPG loaded or not Still got it though
  4. Common sense yes. other operators working around you no. the thought behind the C's is that if your saw gets caught on them and the trouser leg rotates all of the leg is protected. most people have good common sense, but some don't. When making coffee you know you shouldn't scold the granuals
  5. HSE guidelines as follows. Design A, for experienced operators on the ground. Design C, for aerial work and inexperienced operators on the ground. When attending a course the instructor has no knowledge of the candidates experience until assessed throughout the course.

  7. Is that a chipmunk next to the Mosquito ?
  8. Nice shots, I was near south weald last week and i'm sure i saw a couple of vampires flying about, were they at Duxford ?
  9. With the coarse leaf of bracken you get a better leaf coverage with the mist without the run off. less rain here in the south east, we are spraying less each year now as the mist blower works better than the knapsack, perhaps we should go back to the knapsack more work. you wont get the coverage with a knapsack on bracken like this
  10. Mist blower, better coverage. are you using Asulox.
  11. Had the same problem with new stihl semi chisel,RM After a couple of sharpens the chain is crap, gone back to Oregon chain

  14. If you had of said last Sunday, You were sitting next to some in the training room. do you want a risk assessment or a tick off check list ? I have modified NPTC and IPAF. I think your abbreviation key could be a new thread. we have so many of them.
