Singapore is no stranger to behavioral modification campaigns. We've had campaigns telling us to have more children, take public transport instead of buying a car and paying exorbitant road prices set by the people upstairs and policies dictating that we can only get our savings back when we hit 80+ so we're supposed to keep working till then.

 

Here is the latest one where they're encouraging people to switch from chilled meat to frozen meat. And to 'encourage' this, prices of chilled meat have gone up too. So now they're trying to tell us what to eat. I can't believe they even have a roadshow for this. I hope they don't impose a fine on us next time for buying chilled meat.

No Spitfire was ever built as a two-seater, although several were modified post-war. There were four at the 2011 September airshow. Not sure I like the looks of this model, as there seems to be many variations on the second canopy.

Modification of FF04A for higher wind.

Think I'll look into an induction system.

I would very much appreciate it if my pictures were not used unless I, myself, have given permission to use them. Thank you!!<3

Modifications:

- sequential gearbox (see the shifter)

- larger display for navi etc.

Case swap : Traser automatic

Put the traser automatic (ETA-2824) into one Miyota 2115.

Remove the cyclop.

(more space between crystal and dial - higher cannon pin / hour wheel)

Sapphire Crystal, Scrow-in back/crown.

piece added in on cylinder 3. I messed up on this slightly as I cleaned up the top welds to get everything nice and flat then later in the day came back and added a bit more weld underneath. This caused the upper surface to pull downwards by a fraction of a mm. I may just relevel with some metal epoxy to save causing extra problems by getting the welder on it again.
