I hate Google with a vengeance. It intrudes on everything we seem to do online. Like Redbaron I backup onto portable media regularly and nothing is in the cloud. I bought a new laptop and have managed to keep it Google free so far...!

Re: OW. I would have thought that their income from a model show plus the increased footfall through the museum and the refreshment facilties would far outweigh the income from a few full size aircraft movements during the day. I have been at OW on a few non modelling occasions and it wasn't that busy. There's a hidden agenda here somewhere!

Whatever happened to those friendly, accommodating and cooperative people that used to be at OW I wonder....? In the past plenty of full size airfields closed to allow model shows - North Weald, Woodvale, Duxford and Cosford spring to mind. ...or is just greed?

Carol There are 2 T180's on EBay at the moment. Maybe worth contacting the sellers. Rob

Ernie According to the Laser website both were fitted with M8 x 1.25 nuts. Any industrial fastener stockist would be able to supply. My local DIY shop (well stocked little independent) has them. Rob

Am I missing the point? Why not just raise the scissor lift........

Red Baron, interesting...! My partners laptop is running W7 with Office XP and she has no problems at all. In fact, my old company which was a large £bn multi group, ran W7 for everything and paid MS to support it as they found it so reliable.

Thanks Philip.

I have a laptop running Windows 10 which I am happy with. The problem I have is that on two occasions recently Windows 11 decided to install itself without either my knowledge or permission and I don't like it...!! Does anyone know how to stop this happening?

Have a look at www.drapertools.com. I've had two, a 75mm and a 100mm and they have been good. Probably made in the far east but I have found Draper, being UK based, to be very good at QC and customer service.

Thank you for the tip. Emailed them today.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a supply of a replacement fuel tank for a genuine Mills 1.3 please...? Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Robert I had trouble sending. Did my pm get through? Rob

Robert That would be great, thank you. I'll pm.you with my email address. Thanks again.. Rob.

Has anyone got a scanned copy of the instructions for the Irvine Mills 1.3 Diesel please or can anyone point me in the direction of a download site? Any and all help greatly appreciated.
