Starting to wonder if the dills at Pittney Bowes in Erlanger are on Chinese New Years as well. 6 days since my 5326B moved edit : Wonder what the problem might be..
Just for fun i openeed my decade resistance box and measured it's ranges,Code: [Select]Wires: 00.0110Contact Resistance: 00.0310Subtract from each reading: 00.0410.1 00.1375.2 00.2366.3 00.3410.4 00.4375.5 00.5345.6 00.6450.7 00.7374.8 00.8455.9 00.94041 01.04382 02.03303 03.03004 04.04835 05.03546 06.03127 07.03008 08.02449 09.040010 10.042620 19.981230 29.991240 40.009550 50.017060 59.945070 69.948080 79.968890 89.974099.9 99.8559Not anything that will put a ding in the universe until you consider that it's resistors are cloth insulated wires on sewing machine bobbins.Also, specmaster those are amazing photos, mind if i use this one as a wall paper?

Here are some of my better ones over the last few years.

My guess would be Brean Down, but I'm suspicious of the angle.I took a relative to watch the last flight past W-s-Mud; he was delighted since he was an apprentice at Filton in the 60s. Watching a heavy bomber stand on a wingtip ought to be impossible, but we saw it that day.

The location was in fact Beechy Head near Eastbourne and was one of the last displays for the Vulcan.

Watching a heavy bomber stand on a wingtip ought to be impossible, but we saw it that day.OK then, now why were you suspicious of the angle? I was in fact perched very dangerously close to the edge of a cliff where there was warnings about to close to the edge, worried about taking such a shot with my camera and panning to capture the once in a lifetime shot, while I could not see what was happening to cliff edge.The location was in fact Beechy Head near Eastbourne and was one of the last displays for the Vulcan. I did see it a few more times before it finally retired, at Southend where it overflew the static Vulcan there, and at North Weald Airfield and twice at Shuttleworth which included the last ever public display for her.I personally think its a real shame and a national disgrace that such a historic aircraft could not be kept flying.
Yep, the Vulcan was capable of being flown like a fighter, even rolled and at high altitude nothing came close to matching its ability.
This is definitely a mistake. I just had two boxes of 4000 arrive!That cost me £2.71 including next day delivery
