They seem a lot less majestic when you are straining to remove huge seized up nuts and bolts with a 3 foot long spanner in inaccessible places , but very satisfying once they are up and running again . Hopefully we will have 777 `s overhaul complete in three years and up and running on Great British Railways again .

No worse than replacing a fuse on a C3.

Nothing , absolutely nothing compares to changing fuses on a C3 !!!! I would love to meet the guy at GM that came up with that location as a good idea and shake him warmly by the throat .
Even a double jointed Pygmy would struggle to get to it .

It will be . I managed to contact the pilot on my old crystal set radio and being 6th June , anniversary of the D Day Landings it is taking off and landing at Duxford and flying over to Ragley Hall , Birmingham ( not Alabama ! ) for fly pasts at an event there . Hence the east / west flight path .
Roger and out .

It just returned, same time as yesterday. I had my camera ready but instead of going almost over the house it was too far south today to get a picture.

You are not mistaken , cos I didn`t see it or hear it either ! But something nuked a cattle shed a mile or so over the fields from us .I think a B2 stealth bomber just went over - but unfortunately there's no way of telling.....

Just as well you built that Nuke shelter under where your house used to be then.

No ! my technical adviser ( `er indoors ) did that for me on her tablet . I never knew an Asprin was so multi functional .Err.. you are joking right?

No need , I have disguised our house to look like the Houses of Parliament so that the enemy know there is nothing of any value to bomb in there .
