Nice story.

Smallest Radial Engine Known. Fascinating.

We actually had 99 aircraft visitors at that Fly-In. . . . Plus loads of road visitors. . . I Look forward to a similar event when things calm down. . . . ..

Ahhh but the Covid we never expected. . .

The visuals on this vid are excellent. .. but the Approach into Opalocker Airport is horrible. .. I Liked the story of the Bees though. . .

I'm not personally into Narrow boating, but only due to an utter lack of interest from my spouse, who prefers lounging on beaches in Turkey, Greece, or Portugal. . ( and Pre 1983 ), In various parts of Australia. I have spent time with other boat owners though, who have taught me some of the basics. If the thought of travelling the cut at Four Knots, ( Max UK Speed ) and having to stop at hundreds of canalside pubs to sample their wares, appeals to you. . .. Then you may well enjoy this pastime, whether renting, . . .or buying a boat and living on it. . .

I have tried my old What's Up password but no joy, I tried to register but the message I got was not encouraging. . . any ideas ? Cheers in advance. . . Phil P.

Anyone who has the Guts to fly the Simpson Desert in a home made airyplane at 1500 Ft behind a Rotax engine definitely has MY vote in the 'GUTSY' stakes. . .Irrespective of his Floppy . . . . :roflmao:

Test of L-eXtreme narrowband filter on the North America and Pelican Nebulae last night. Only five 3min exposures = 15mins. Was hoping for an hour or more but clouds rolled in. Redcat 51 telescope, which is effectively a 250mm lens.

I hope that our BEX and family has some high ground nearby, 1 Metre of rain is forecast by next Wednesday. . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UsF6yPf7BI

Thanks Nev, . . . I feel cheated, gave up he smokes six years back ! . . .saved some cash though.. . hoe I don't have to give up Asian Curries, . . .the Doctors told me that there was no real reason that I should,. . but both being from India, they could have been biased ! Currently having to get used to my new daily medication regime, ie. Eight assorted pills & capsules and a good slug of laxative. . . . will have to leave it for a while to consume my 70th birthday gifts, which included some Vodka. Sloe Gin and Cava, as these arrived two days before the hospital jobbie. . . Jo

I apparently over did the Birthday cake on the evening of the 2nd June,. . .this ended up with a visit from the Doctor and an ambulance ride to the heart & lung unit for a week or so. Had an angiogram followed by Angioplasty, to stent one of the cardiac blood vessels. May have to return in future to have ongoing as an 'out' patient. I managed to escape from the hospital on Wednesday evening just gone, feeling rather sore and sorry. BUT Glad to be still here.
