  1. Yeah I’ll be having a play with it. Big J was complimentary about the strength and amount of steel in Trakmet kit so hopefully it will take a beating well, I work a lot with polish welders etc and can’t knock the work they do. I think I’m close to what I can sensibly tow Les to tell truth. 2.4m wide and 3m tall so have to watch where I go with it.
  2. Well Les it’s a big commitment for sure, paid a chunk extra to get the wide head option and heavy duty chassis rails etc, tried to set it up to hopefully cover most of what I’ve got planned. Pawel has been sound to deal with bud throughout the whole process. Leaving the vessel on sat morning from Newport docks and heading up to his place to get some instruction on the computer set works side of things before I go home.

    Trakmet

    Trakmet TTP 600 mobile finally at mine after a good few delays due to covid lockdowns in Poland and Italy. Mate took delivery whilst I’m offshore. Must thank Big J for some good advice and input whilst sorting spec and Pav for putting up with the endless questions.
  5. Ouch cutting that bud 😳
  6. Think you might’ve heard me grumble about that too Andy, I’m sure someone on here explained the internal structure of the cells or something. Either way it does hammer the blades.
  7. Met Police officer under investigation for shouting 'Free Palestine' at protest APPLE.NEWS A female Metropolitan Police officer is being investigated after being filmed chanting "Free... Simple solution along the lines of there’s your notice, 🤮🤮🤮nearly as cringeworthy as those police whom thought it appropriate to take the bloody knee.
  8. Britons asked to plant trees across the country to mark the Queen's platinum jubilee APPLE.NEWS For decades planting trees has been part of the royal day job, but now we're all being asked to... Well I guess the prices will be on the up soon.
  9. I did not suggest right or wrong at all Mark as well you know, I suggested that recent history will point to them fighting rather than just being annihilated.
  10. If you read back a few posts I mentioned the other day that the tragedy of this as is often the case that the innocents on the ground will suffer because of the actions of politicians so I’m neither blind nor immune to the suffering of the civilians out there. Mark you can be pro Palestinian as much as you want bud, the truth is Israel is surrounded by states that want to see it erased off the map, I’d say they will fight every time now rather than meekly accept annihilation. if you have the answers to that problem then you are a wise man.
  11. Well at least it makes a change from a hysterical Covid headline
  12. I knew it 🙄it’s the Palestinian thing that’s brought out the socialist worker comrade thing in you isn’t it. Hamas knows exactly what it’s doing Mark. Send your Labour saviour Blair back in, wasn’t he a peace envoy for a while after massively contributing to the chaos in the Middle East a few year back.
  13. 😂😂😂 Mark you need to fold up your Palestinian flag and calm down mate. Those guys in that van were illegally staying in the UK and have been for years, due process has been done end of story. The people in that crowd are not my comrades Mark and never will be, the guys I’ve soldiered and worked with are what I’d call comrades, decent hard working tax paying people.
  14. That’s totally irrelevant 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
  15. No not at all read the reply to mark, 99% of the time I’ll back the police. Ex forces, FAC holder for 28 years with a clean record etc etc ive no gripe with the police or authority, I think Mark is getting his citizen smith head on ref the illegals in Glasgow.
  16. What on earth are you on about Mark the two are totally different things I’m not sure if you are getting your left wing head on here. I’m pointing out the fact the FM of Scotland and the justice secretary are supporting mob rule when a legitimate operation ( After a lengthy and legal process) is being carried out. That is totally and utterly different to often ridiculous restrictions put in place by over zealous power hungry politicians to supposedly deal with covid. I’ve upheld the law and played by the rules all my life bud. Please try not to write in Geordie it looks and sounds absolutely stupid. Just an afterthought Mark I think you’ll find the good people of the NE will not agree with you when it comes to illegal immigrants being allowed to stay when due process has been carried out, hence Labour and its left wing socialist elite in London are progressively alienating more and more normal decent tax paying working class people.
  17. ‘Disgusted is an understatement’: Sturgeon hits out at Rangers fans following Glasgow celebrations APPLE.NEWS Thousands of football fans broke Covid guidelines, leading to 28 arrests and five injured officers But it’s totally fine for a mob to force the release of illegal immigrants. The hypocrisy is staggering. Could it be all those union flags being carried in her city have hit a raw nerve.
  18. I’ll say one thing you are getting the most out of that tri axle 👍
  19. How on earth do you expect to see parity of numbers ??. Israel is so well equipped Hamas know they will take a beating but the losses will trigger the exact reaction you provided. The sad thing about this as is always the case it will be civilians that will take the brunt not politicians.
  20. No offence taken bud. yeah loads but it’s a task to sort it out and often as not things didn’t always come down in daylight.
  21. Out of respect mainly just as was the case of the B17 I mentioned earlier, if it can be positively identified and then confirmed lives were lost in a plane then certain steps are put in place, That particular site was designated as a war grave and a wreath was laid by US representatives. If we get confirmation of the type lost here I’ll update the post.
  22. Pratt and Whitney twin wasp with a Hamilton 3 blade variable blade prop set up.
  23. Thanks for that, few onboard had suggested something similar with the detentes but the shape at the end is throwing most. I did a job a couple of years ago off Belgian coast and what turned out to be a B17g was identified on the cable route, we ended up with a guy onboard whom had a complete parts manual for that model and was able to confirm the identity using a retaining ring we recovered from the port wing landing lights made from non ferrous material which had survived pretty much in as new condition.
  24. Could well be 🤷‍♂️but very decent quality steel for that.
  25. Maybe but that’s from same patch, very high grade steel that has very little surface pitting etc.
