Hello Dick. Faulty Broadband may well be fixed. Spent hours on the phone (at my own expense) to the ISP trying to convince them the connection was failing. They sent an engineer after three days.
At the Model show last week I managed to meet with the local SAM 35 chapter. I wanted to join but they had no equipment or anything else. It was a last minute attendance (by them) at the show. I was given a phone number to call between 6 and & PM. I have been called out to meeting every evening this week. Maybe I can contact them tonight.
I am going to go to a flying field this weekend to meet up with the members of a club I used to belong to. The North Kent Nomads, the field is quite good except that the Thames is rather close and too dangerous for swimming or even using a rowing boat. A model in the Thames here is lost for good. I will try and get some pic's to post.
Someone posted a request for information on the wing centre section of a Flair Jr 60. I built the original kit (KK I think) in the '50s. It had an ED 2cc diesel, the one with a coin slot for compression adjustment. I eventually found the wing, I thought it had survived time totally unscathed. No such luck, the silk covering was no longer super strong, it has become brittle with time. If I am to use it again I will have to have to strip and recover. I also found a McGregor single channel and an electric GG actuator. In the same box was a Walton 4 channel proportional outfit. I can't ever remember using except that it has a Futaba servo that I recognise from use in the Sr Falcon. I suppose I shall need to buy some new gear. I have attached a pic' of the sad remains.

Quick response.
An Expert.
Analysis:- Ex = A has been Spert = A drip under pressure.
Should we listen to experts, should we ever claim to be an expert?

My new camera doing OK but photigrapher less so. I went to my local flying field to see about re-joining the club. I found I have to start with a new members fee of $210 still never mind I have not been playing any part in the field upkeep for the last twenty years at least, possiby thirty. The land the field is on is classified as agricultural but is in fact Thames saltmarsh drained by a system of dykes. The structure in the background is a sluice to allow water from a local stream into the Thames. On the horizon you may see the Thames flood defences. It is about six miles from the Thames Barrier as the crow flies and nine miles from the Barrier by river. The Thames by the field is tidal, so the field is not very good for free flight or poor pilots like me. The patch is in good condition, grass but suitable for taxying. The dirt road leading to the field no longer has the 12" potholes, it has been improved with gravel. (I think by the local gun club) The North Kent Nomads are twinned with the Hanau club in Germany. This year (out of turn) they are visiting Hanau for its 50th anniversary. They usually meet in the other's country every three years with the middle year, meeting in a neutral country. It is a shame I am too involved in England to even think of going on the trip.
