Ernie Some time ago I tried, as part of a past job, to get some printed. Ran into the same obstacle every time - quantity. 1000 off could be possible. If you go onto Amazon and search 'Transourdream' they do A4 sheets of waterside transfer paper which you could print yourself from your PC, apply and the finish with a matt water based varnish. HTH Rob

Down to print and paper quality then.....

Thanks Guys - you're a lot faster and more useful than MS....!!!

Guys I am receiving multiple emails (9 so far) from Microsoft with One Time Passcodes (OTP's) to enable access to my account. Needless to say I have not requested these and it points to attempts to hack into my MS Account. 3 hours of intense trying have now passed and I have been unable to speak to anyone at MS about this (the phone number for MS Support simply point you to a website, which is of no help). I cannot even find a live chat option on the support site. Has anyone else had this happen? Has anyone on the forum ACTUALLY spoken to anyone at MS and if so how? Any and all help greatly appreciated... Rob

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.

Cuban, About 5 years ago my partner and I used to travel to watch our football team and tickets plus coach travel with a supporters club used to be about £150 for the two of us. Based on a 90 minute game that is £100/hour..! Cost went up so we do not go any more.

I think if you apply the equation of hours spent participating divided by the membership fee + club fees you will find the rate per hour very reasonable. Compare the same equation to golf, watching football, fishing or holding a PPL for recreational flying and I think we get value for money. We must get used to the idea that nothing is free.

Just bought a pair of these on offer from Amazon. So far excellent. Up to 9 hrs on low, high is a bit too warm, probably best for gloved hands but medium is just right. FANDLISS Rechargeable Hand... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DCBKH2Q2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Fitting tribute to someone who epitomised our hobby at the highest level. A wonderful legacy would be to have all his designs listed and available. I hope where you are going Peter the sun will always be on your back and the grass doesn't grow! RIP

Thanks Allan.....
