  1. It’s next to Kings Lynn. Plenty for them to get on with sorting that place out!
  2. A bit out of date........railways were privatised in 1994.
  3. Watched them all today, excellent.
  4. Well worth the upgrade, I went from an air 2 to one of these before Christmas. Love it!
  5. Been through something very similar recently but mine was a change in contract. I stuck to my guns and stated I don’t want the change. They offered me a very tidy amount of tax free cash for them the end the contract. I signed the settlement contract on the Friday, and signed my new contract with a new company the Monday after. They had taken 2 months to negotiate with me which allowed me time to find a new job. Seemless employment, a boot full of cash, and a much better job. You never know, you might get offered enough to tie you over your final year, and be able to retire early.
  6. I never drain fuel. If the diaphragm in the carb dries out it won’t start when you need it next year. I used to fly petrol engines in models, and the advice is never let them dry out.
  7. I can usually be found on a steam engine, or a Traction engine.
  8. I was lucky enough to get a trip around the TT course in one of the safety cars a couple of years ago. We picked up William on the way round the circuit, he gave us a fantastic commentary for the rest of the lap. Nice guy and gone far to early. One thing though, he knew the risks and he died doing what he loves, just a shame he leaves his family.
  9. Not the original question, but today marks the 80th Anniversary of Mallard passing the 120mph mark in 1938.
  10. We rented from Calcutt 3yrs ago, took the family, 4 kids and a dog. Good clean boats. We headed down the south Oxford and managed to get to Banbury in a week. It’s a good route with a good mix of leisurely cruising and locks. Locks are fine now having had a good tidy up. Pubs are spaced apart, so if you’re cunning you can have lunch in one then move to another for the evening. Avoid Copredy when the festival is on, we got caught out on the way back, the place was rammed, with a heavy fog of illegal substances in the air. Top pub enroute, The Wharf Inn at Fenny Compton, it’s where I met my wife about 16yrs before! Also a good point to fill water and re stock from the small shop. The most important thing is to relax and enjoy!
  11. Keep away from Falaraki unless you want constant headaches! Lindos is lovely. I’ve not been for 20 odd years, but enjoyed the roof terrace restaurants in Lindos.
  12. They have a uk warehouse and ship from it!
  13. Servos should be able to move when powered off, you can test for notches in the gearing that way. If it’s not moving at all when power is off then I expect a seized servo (unless it’s a sail winch servo which needs RC and power to move it.. 27mhz is very old now and relies on Chrystal technology. I would recommend upgrading to a cheap 4 channel system, look at hobbyking for options and look at 2.4ghz which doesn’t need Chrystal and is much better for interference. Once you have a reliable connection then test the servos. i used to race 1m yachts, plus years of experience with model aircraft. Steve
  14. You’re a new members with a low post count. My guess is you’ll need to be more active to be able to post any for sale or wanted posts.
