Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think our H&S guys at work might just have a word or two to contribute if I tried any of them. You know the sort of thing,....have you completed a full written risk assessment, have to been on the "working at height" course? That sort of thing. Otherwise I'm sure they would be fine with it, as long as the paperwork was done.

Daithi O Buitigh Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I know the rules say that crime victims aren't to be identified, but surely this is taking it a bit too far I bet whoever did it is feeling a bit sheepish now Edited By Daithi O Buitigh on 12/05/2016 20:34:52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Purvis Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm being rather cheeky, but I've asked permish first.... I’m trying to help raise money to take some children from a deprived area in Warrington to Boston to Harvard, MIT and other interesting places for a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) visit, and I thought MF members would think it was a good cause (more than my friends do, who I've already asked). I’ve promised to make a postcard for anyone from the PP forum who donates, and I would do the same for anyone from here for you, and I’d make something MF ish rather than girly. This isn't my children's school but my daughter attends their free Coderdojo sessions each month, where children can learn CAD, programming, laser cutting, 3d printing, drone flying, lego robotics and more. These children have been selected to visit these exciting institutions, and many can't afford the trip without significant financial help. So, I would like to share the link for fund raising, and anyone who donates 50p or more will be rewarded (or not) by a fabric postcard made by me. On Popular Patchwork, we would normally make a raffle quilt, but I haven't time, but I thought this idea might raise a tiny bit. You'll need to PM me to tell me that you've donated though, as I won't know otherwise, obviously I don't want to know how much you donate or anything, just your address to send a postcard to. I am only asking my ladies, and you and Model Engineering, as I thought you might find it interesting. This is the link to donate, And this is a bit about the project... We are students from Beamont Collegiate Academy in Warrington. Our school is a centre of Excellence for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. We are the only high school in the UK to hold the prestigious STEM assured quality mark. However, our school is in one of the most deprived areas in the country. In September we will travel to Boston, USA for an inspirational, aspiration-raising working trip to look at the best STEM facilities in the World. The money you donate will support those children who could not afford to take this opportunity without financial help. We have been handpicked for our outstanding ability in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and we will be immersed in the world of STEM for 8 days. We will be working with: Harvard University, the worlds foremost STEM university, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) , Engineers from the global company iRobot and Lowell, who developed the Mars rover. Marine Biologists to study Ecology in the north Atlantic Ocean. We have been endlessly trying to raise the £10,000 needed for this trip. The school is generously supporting us and so far we've held bake sales, assisted shoppers with their packing at weekends, ran our own café during Coderdojo events at the academy and organised draws to win a number of hampers. The opportunity for us as students to make this trip is truly life changing but now we need help to raise the remaining money needed. Any donations from 50p to £500 will help ensure the brightest of futures for our students and provide Warrington with a wealth of scientists, engineers and mathematicians in the future. We thank you in advance for your generosity and look forward to sharing the experiences of our trip with you. And as this is the Cafe, I'm posting my favourite aircraft (real not model) related song. It's a bit electronic, but you never know, you might like it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spice Cat Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Not an expert in these things but in this are they SS uniforms, looks like Wehrmacht to me and as for the 'Kubelwagen', looks liks a VW Thing as the fuel filler is a bit of a give away. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm woodcock 1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi, don't know if this is the right place to ask, but does anybody know of a UK supplier for EPP foam sheets, 15mm thick. Have tried loads of places but all they can supply is polystyrene. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hi Malcolm Flying Dog has 15mm epp sheets, 580 x 900 mm, here is the link: http://shop.flying-dog.co.uk/epp-foam-sheets-15-mm-13-p-28.html Edited By WolstonFlyer on 31/08/2016 11:37:24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcolm woodcock 1 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks 'WolstonFlyer', I had ordered from them but they accepted the order but didn't deliver the goods and won't acknowledge my e-mails. I'm in dispute with them and PayPal have raised a issue with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolstonFlyer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Sorry to hear that Malcolm, that is annoying. I also got some EPP sheet from Flying Wings but their website has changed and it is no longer listed, you might be able to phone and ask. **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Treat yourself to a bt of pure nostalgia and childhood memories,.... Lots of footage with a Tiger Moth that is the star of the show - some full size, most model. No CGI! Brilliant fun and far better than the drivel on the telly!
