  1. 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.
  2. Could well be 🤷‍♂️but very decent quality steel for that.
  3. Maybe but that’s from same patch, very high grade steel that has very little surface pitting etc.
  4. Hi All Long shot but wondering if any of the engineering types would have any idea what the item in the pics is. Recovered from Bristol Channel off Hinckley.
  5. ?? I presume you mean Montgomery It’s easy with the benefit of hindsight to be critical and the armchair strategists have poured scorn over many battles of that period. I believe Miles Dempsey was the original architect of the plan and whilst it may not have given the results it was planned to it did indeed tie up a huge part of the high quality formations in the field opposing allied forces. Anyway as an aside my grandad was in Guards Armoured during that period and survived that and being a regular infantryman in the BEF including evacuation at Dunkirk. Up until his death he wouldn’t hear a bad word said about Montgomery, his men certainly thought highly of him.
  6. Glasgow immigration raid: Men detained by Home Office released after face off between police and protesters on Eid APPLE.NEWS Men detained in a Home Office van have been released following a face off between police and... If ever there was an any doubt of where Scotland is heading under the SNP then this article should be somewhat of a confirmation. Home office doing the job they are paid to do yet the first minister of Scotland sides with a mob and regrets having to put her police force “ Police Scotland ever since they centralised police forces” in to deal with the consequences. Mob rule over the rule of law supported by the FM 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
  7. £30 per hr Les !! Is that for 1 man and the mill ??.
  8. Christ sake 42 pack that shit in.
  9. You fancy living in a nationalist state under the empress sturgeon 🤮🤮 no room for dissent or hard working self employed up here bud over 43k and you are an enemy of the state. I have a sneaky suspicion you may have ticked the blue box eh 😀👍. Houchen is a good example of how these bloody politicians should be operating.
  10. You been voting Tory Mark back down in Northumberland 👍👍 Makes coming home especially if that nut job Sturgeon gets her way even more attractive 👍
  11. The costly lessons of history seem to have been forgotten.
  12. Covid: Black leaders blame lower vaccine take-up on racism APPLE.NEWS Mistrust and inequality may explain why vaccine take-up is lower in the black community, say... Why is it no surprise that its the BBC running with this.
  13. Which of the rangers has all the engine issues ??
  14. COVID-19: Pfizer says demand for vaccine could be long-lasting like flu jab APPLE.NEWS US drugs giant Pfizer has said demand for its COVID-19 vaccine could become "durable" like flu... 💰💰💰💰💰💰 Well who’d have thought it.
  15. Hi Dave I can’t help myself as too far away but I know a guy up in Barmouth who is back and forward to Barry at moment he may know someone, thought top chippy Les might have jumped in on this, which scout group you involved with ??.
  16. NHS bosses earning £300,000-a-year plus bonuses in 'slap in the face' to nurses APPLE.NEWS EXCLUSIVE: NHS nurses were offered just a 1% pay rise by Health Secretary Matt Hancock but top... Looks the leaders of the heroes ain’t doing too bad at all.
  17. He’s made his money as has most of his bent and corrupt cabinet, he lied ref WMD yet he is still out there spouting shit trying to keep these bloody covid restrictions going 😡😡. Bugger off and enjoy the socialist millionaire lifestyle.
  18. Lifting of last lockdown restrictions on 21 June should be in doubt, Tony Blair Institute suggests APPLE.NEWS ‘Being prepared to change the strategy could save thousands of lives’ I cannot get my head around the fact this lying sanctimonious piece of shit whom should in reality be serving a long jail sentence still gets headlines.
  19. COVID-19: Regular exercise may cut COVID-19 death risk by a third, major study finds APPLE.NEWS Regular exercise reduces the chances of dying from infectious diseases such as COVID-19 by... Take the ONS stats about 27% of reported covid deaths not actually being due to but with covid then add the exercise study etc !!. The money, industry and impetus behind Covid has a momentum all of its own right now that bears zero relationship to actual risk anymore. Sadly the news about the young people most effected in the jobs market being the least vulnerable by a huge margin to covid was all too predictable.
  20. Your welcome. In regards the import duty I’d say luck of the draw. I made a large purchase from an EU based manufacturer but sorted it all out before the deadline. Admittedly delivery is late but the reason I get every time for that is Covid not Brexit.
  21. Opinion | Biden is making the Trump presidency seem like a golden age of unity APPLE.NEWS Just as Democrats redefined “infrastructure,” the president is now trying to redefine... Not really a surprise.
