Billhook

Little Grey Fergie from 1950 my father bought in 1960. Discovered an important owner in the logbook who bought it secondhand in 1958 but only owned it for a year. Maybe she drove it to take some hay down to the stables?? It appears that because she actually personally owns the Sandringham Estate that her name appears in the logbook. The Royal cars in London May come under another ownership such as the Duchy of wherever The agent who signed the logbook is Major Billy Fellowes who is father of Robert Fellowes who married Princess Diana’ s sister Anyway we decorated her and she was featured at the beacon lighting on Thursday

Just a reminder to the World in the current climate

Y’all should know ba now that I come from the county of pilgrims, with the towns of Boston, Lincoln, New York. But thank you Slack ma Girdle and Surveyor and for answering that. Never seen one before in spite of hanging around ponds and ditches most of my life!

Not quite sure where to post this but this incredibly thin worm was in a completely still stone basin of Spring water. Anyone identify it?

I made this one from scrap in the yard Load it with the Teleporter and the logs take very little effort to move sideways in the boat rollers. Will cope with bent logs quite well

They were very quiet and graceful on cruise power, but like most engines that all changed when you opened her up!

Just remembered that shortly after the crash my cousin came over with his new girlfriend and we went down to the pub where I was full of this new story and started going on about it when my cousin started kicking me under the table and shaking his head. Told me later that his girlfriend's father had been killed failing to eject from a stricken Vulcan. Apparently the three aircrew in the back always had great difficulty in putting on their chutes and exiting via a small door in time and several lives were lost in this way.

We used to see the Vulcans regularly on their way from Waddington or Scampton to the range at Wainfleet. I remember the four smoke trails from the RR Avon engines as they hugged the topography of the Lincolnshire Wolds In 1977 the men on the farm saw this Vulcan with flames streaming out above the farm before it crashed three miles away near Spilsby. RAF-lincolnshire.info :: 101 Squadron: Crash of XM600 WWW.RAF-LINCOLNSHIRE.INFO Apparently the pilot parachuted and landed in Halton Holegate and was walking up the road carrying his chute when he met someone who recognised him and in a great example of British understatement said " I expect you could do with a nice cup of tea"

Bit more here on the lifeboat Airborne lifeboat - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

My father too was in Coastal Command, stationed at Davidstow in Cornwall. He was initially sent to Canada then Pensacola to learn how to fly Catalinas. Then ended up in 280 Squadron flying Wellingtons then Warwicks. I visited the museum at Davidstow some time ago and they had a record of all his missions. He flew Warwicks that had the bomb bay converted to house a large lifeboat that had its own engine and medical and food supplies. I think it had two or three parachutes. Like many he never talked much about the war. However on his death bed he suddenly told the story which had obviously been haunting him since the war. They were called out to a Flying Fortress downed in the Channel. Father dropped the lifeboat closer to the crew swimming there than he was trained to do, maybe fifty yards away and they circled around helplessly as they watch all the crew succumb slowly either to the cold or their wounds and not one of them made it. Going back to the wonderful Lancaster, we live only a few miles from Coningsby and from East Kirkby, where the non flying, hope to be flying soon Just Jane just taxis. Have not seen the flying one recently as it has been undergoing surgery so good to see it in the video Here is a video I took at East Kirkby when the Canadian one visited and the sound of twelve Merlins filled the air. As you can see at the end of the video I nearly fell over backwards! Alas these amateur cameramen!

I apologise for the remark above!

She has suspiciously clean hands throughout!

I have a few old and tired bits that I think she could restore!

Obviously health and safety has not reached her area as far as chainsaws go. No chain brake and no CHAPS

Human waste needs a good dose of Batemans XXX to produce the amount of gas you need!

Any idea of prices now being charged for firewood

There is so much stuff on the web that it is hard to find the truth. Just look at the Ukraine at the moment The dangers of closed cell foam were well known when we looked into icynene, we did our research and have been really thankful for the way it has changed out house and it has not shown any signs of a problem since it was applied in 2009. We have put it in between the floor joists in the attic and in between the felt and plasterboard in the dormer roof. So there has been no direct contact with the pantiles. I could see that there could be a problem if a firm had tried to use it to fix loose tiles on an unfelted roof Icynene - 4 Misconceptions & Real Icynene Reviews WWW.MASSFOAMSYSTEMS.CO.UK Discover 4 misconceptions about Icynene spray foam insulation & how these myths are busted to put your mind at...

It would be very cruel to make your wife work a treadmill like that

Good man Andy, may the Force be with you!

Was it icynene open cell or chemical closed cell foam? We used closed cell on our refrigerated store years ago before icynene was on the market and can quite understand how it might cause problems by making the wood sweat. Our store seems to be ok but we do not keep chickens in it. It was done in the 1970s. All I can go on is our experience from 2009 with icynene and I feel fairly sure that if there was a problem with icynene then we would have seen it by now after twelve years of severe weather up here on an exposed hill top.
