Hawker Nimrod Mk.I Biplane:
The Hawker Nimrod Mk.I was effectively the Naval equivalent of the Hawker Fury Mk.I, with a few modifications to suit her Naval role. The prototype of the '‘Norn'’ as she was initially known first flew in August 1930 and following successful trials an order for 42 Nimrod Mk.I aircraft was placed. The first six examples to enter service were with 402 Fleet Fighter Flight aboard H.M.S 'Courageous' replacing their Fairey Flycatchers. The Nimrod never fired her guns in anger, but served well with both the Home and Mediterranean Fleets. The last Nimrods to fly operationally were with 802 Naval Air Station (NAS) when they were replaced by Sea Gladiators at Hal Far, Malta, in May 1939. The very last Nimrod in Fleet Air Arm service was Mk.I S1582, which was being used as a hack with 753 NAS undertaking weather checks until she was paid off in January 1942.
The Fighter Collection’s Nimrod Mk.I S1581 was the third production aircraft built by the Hawker Engineering Company at their Kingston-upon-Thames facility and allocated the construction number 41H-43617. Nimrod S1581 was subsequently delivered to 408 Fighter Flight as ‘573’ embarked upon H.M.S 'Glorious'. The flight became 803 NAS in April 1933 and S1581 remained with the unit aboard H.M.S 'Glorious' until she was written off in early 1938. Her subsequent history is unclear but there are indications that she may have spent a number of years with an Air or Sea Cadet Squadron prior to being sold for scrap. The substantial remains of S1581 were recovered from a scrapyard in West London in the early 1970's and donated to the RAF Museum. The remains passed to Viv Bellamy in the early 1980's to act as a pattern for his Fury replica, but were then purchased in 1994 by Aero Vintage who set about restoring this magnificent machine back to her former glory.
The restoration was both complex and demanding but by the Autumn of 1999 she was sitting on her undercarriage and the first trial assembly of the whole airframe took place. The following Spring saw the Kestrel V engine installed and test run for the first time in over 60 years. The eagerly awaited first flight took place at Henlow, Bedfordshire, in July 2000 with Flt Lt Charlie Brown at the controls. She is authentically painted in the colours she wore as ‘573’ when she served with 802 NAS during the 1930's. She joined The Fighter Collection in 2004 and is a firm favourite with pilots and crowds alike. She provides a wonderful glimpse into the elegant silver biplanes used during the inter-war years as front-line fighters.

Hawker Nimrod Mk.II Biplane:
British Hawker Nimrod II (G-BURZ) K3661, manufacturer’s serial 41H.59890, was completed on 5th September 1934, on 1st January 1935 it was placed in storage at RAF Cardington and then on 7th October 1936 went to the packing depot at RAF Sealand. On the 23rd October 1936 it was issued to 802 Flight in the Mediterranean with the side code number 562. It was C Flight Commander’s aircraft and therefore had its tailfin painted yellow as were the spinner wheels and fuselage band. It served from 1936 to June 1938 during which it suffered two landing accidents. Placed on Admiralty charge with the Fleet Air Arm on 23rd May 1939, its last recorded placement was to RNAS Lee on Solent in December 1939. During its time in the Mediterranean it is known to have been flown on 23rd August 1937 by Geoff Eveleigh who recalls it well (he also flew Nimrod S1581 now flying with the Fighter Collection after being restored by Aero Vintage).
A number of photographs exist of the aircraft at the Fleet Air Museum at Yeovilton, including two of its landing accidents, there is also a later photograph, which was taken at RAF Hawkinge in Kent showing the official 802 Squadron badge on the tail. In 1972 the Nimrod II was discovered on a rubbish dump in Ashford, Kent, more or less complete but well corroded. The aircraft was recovered and donated to the RAF Museum and stored at RAF Henlow. After RAF Henlow’s closure the fuselage was sold off to Mike Cookman. Aero Vintage acquired the fuselage from him in August 1991, and later that year the wings from this aircraft and those of the Nimrod I S1581 were also acquired from the RAF Museum.
Investigating the aircraft’s past, Mike Llewellyn, the proprietor of the Battle of Britain Museum at RAF Hawkinge, telephoned Guy with the news that he had a display case full of parts from the Nimrod. These included the control column, instrument panel, map box, ammunition chutes, and many other items, including the original cockpit data plates, confirming the serial number as K3661. It is believed the aircraft may have been used as an airfield decoy or been with a local ATC Squadron. Restoration commenced in 1992, helped by the fortuitous discovery of a large number of Nimrod drawings in Denmark. A Kestrel V engine was located and has been restored. The restoration was completed in November 2006 and the first post restoration flight was successfully completed on 16th November 2006. Hawker Nimrod K3661 (Reg No. G-BURZ) is owned by the Historic Aircraft Collection (HAC) based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, she currently wears the markings of K3661 802 Squadron FAA 562, the aircraft resides in Duxford's Hangar 3.

Custom IBook I'm working on. Custom Black Paintjob on the inside of the clear plastic/acrylic casing, apple logos stripped out and backlit.... inside shielding removed so when the case is open the inside is see through, so you can see the inside electronics... Upgraded Hardrive, ram, soon to be overclocked and fedora core 7 linux installed.
Further stick modifications courtesy of Evilstevie. This is a Jessops clamp attached to the stick so that rather than fumbling one-handedly with my bag on a mosey about, I can just push down the lens cover and I'm set up, on a tripod (well, monopod) ready to go for reasonably steady pictures.
StickCam can also be applied to my elbow crutches or wheelchair, and is removed for non-camera occasions.
When I'm next up to having a little walk at night, we might see what pictures are like if combined with my StickLights...

The general trend for quickly solving the problem with the intake elbow is to cut off the flexible part and install it back to front. this solves the clearance issue but now it has to point down as the TPS connector is in the way if you point it to the back of the car. The rocker cover breather pipe easily connects to the first of the two holes but the connection to the ICV is too short so I'll lengthen that hose with some 22mm copper pipe.
Where to put the MAF and the cone air filter will be a challenge too. lots of people either go down and through to the passenger footwell or take a feed from above the rad. My plan is to pop the whole lot down in the area that the alternator originally went leaving the rear of the engine bay for fuel and coolant stuff

The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner (or Strato-Clipper in Pan American service, or C-75 in USAAF service) is an American stressed-skin four-engine low-wing tailwheel monoplane airliner derived from the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber, which entered commercial service in July 1940. It was the first airliner in revenue service with a pressurized cabin, which with supercharged engines, allowed it to cruise above the weather. As such it represented a major advance over contemporaries, with a cruising speed of 220 mph (350 km/h) at 20,000 ft (6,100 m) compared to the Douglas DC-3s 160 mph (260 km/h), at 8,000 ft (2,400 m) then in service. When it entered commercial service it had to have a crew of five to six, including two pilots, a flight engineer, two flight attendants and an optional navigator, and had a capacity for 33 passengers, which later modifications increased, first to 38, and eventually to 60.

| ‘Tattooing and body piercing are flourishing, and the new innovations of branding and scarification continue to develop. Even more evident is the advent of cosmetic tattooing, advertised boldly in the newspapers and phone books as permanent makeup for a beautiful personal investment. While no national databases are available to provide an accurate picture of body art recipients, findings from several small, recent studies are consistent. They include published rates of 19 to 23 percent for tattooing among young adults 18 to 25 years of age and rates of 33 percent for body piercing. A recent Ohio University poll found that about one of every seven adults was tattooed, with young adults (18 to 34 years of age) 10 times more likely to have the decorative designs.
Another way to look at the presence of body art is to examine the number of studios in a state; the figures then become phenomenal. In Texas, with a population of 21 million people, almost 900 tattooing studios were registered in the state as of January 2004, with over half that number listed as beauty salons or spas performing cosmetic tattooing. Of the 599 body-piercing studios registered in Texas, approximately 300 combine both tattooing and body piercing. If one estimated that body-piercing studios average five piercings weekly, then over 155,000 yearly would be produced in just one state; the number of tattoos would be over 234,000. Body art is an invasive procedure: For body piercing, jewelry is inserted into a tract; for tattooing, non-FDA-approved pigment is introduced into the skin by multiple punctures to produce indelible designs; and for permanent cosmetics, pigment is inserted into the eyelids, eyebrows, and lips. Branding is a specific method of scarification resulting in a deliberate keloid formation. In each procedure, there is a release of serosanguinous fluid “accompanying the repetitive puncturing of tattooing, the puncture wounds of body piercing, and the application of heated steel,” predisposing the patron to local infections and systemic illness such as bloodborne diseases.
The public may assume that state regulations exist for body art, with regular inspections protecting the client, and that if there are problems with a studio, the state will automatically close it. Often it is not until a body art complication occurs and is reported to state health officials that the public begins to realize just how strong or weak these statutes can be for client safety. In reality, it may take over two years for the due-process procedures to work before a studio is shut down, if it even happens… | full article

Fixing a remote solar panel / battery / charger unit to an LED lamp with the aim to put it in the fronds of our New Zealand fern. Sadly it's not bright enough to shine through the foliage. Back to the drawing-board !
