small pic
This was a modle of a Supemarine S6 seaplane it was found in the Okehampton re cycling centre by Graham.. It was badly damaged wings broken off very grubby and covered in candle wax..
Graham gave it to me to see if it was any good..
So after many hours of cleaning and re- constructing parts it's now finnished all the brass parts were corroded like the float struts and radiators on sides and underneath the brass wire rigging was mostly missing.. Now finnished..
So not bad for an oldun who's eyesight is bad and shaking hands
It was made by a company that dose wooden aircraft as a desk piece they even make a scooter

I forgot to say my application for my Blue badge came through Last week I had to go for assessment was in the office for over an hour and even taken for a hobble.. the assessor said you will get a reply in a couple of weeks while Maz was driving me back home had an Email on mobile phone saying I had passed assessment and badge would be in the post.. so had it a week now and used it once having to go to Exmouth Hospital and used a disabled parking space right whare I needed to be.. the assessor said when she traced my clinical records " I think you need a coffin.. she was really nice and jokey..

Its a smart looking ornament now Dave

Re: Still got it!!!

Dave, that blue badge will really help out. Just get used to being able to park all day in limited time parking, 3 hours on double yellow lines and the wider parking at stores. Dont forget to register for free parking at Wonford hospital.

Re: Still got it!!!

Yes got all the info the bit I like but prob never use is London ULEZ ten quid that's for up to two cars

Re: Still got it!!!

Watch out if there are the yellow stripes on the pavement edge that prohibit loading as even badge holders will get a ticket. Blue badge cannot be used in Central London. They have their own badge. Always red car park small print as they are very variable. Newton Abbot still wants parking fees but give you double time limit. Bit of a minefield. You can also park all day in residents only parking areas.

As I said Geoff my rule book says you do not pay for congestion charg you register with the transport for London and pay a registration fee of £10 and you don't need to own that vehicle.
So that means a friend can take you
