Kind of aviation related , hand a perfectly good working drill which had meny more years of life left,
never let me down and cost very little.
Wife has spent a fortune on a fancy new one , that will probably break down the first time i use it,
and cost twice as much as the old one to fix.
Time to stuff the turkey now just have to make up my mind whether or not its got a pulse. :Oops:

So far I've had a book called "The Battle of Britain Experience" 70 th anniversary edition, by Richard Overy, it has all sorts of pull out facismile documentation to remove and read too. I've had my Mach1 FRIAT tickets and the piece de resistance, A Gold 70th anniversary 'limited edition' Battle of Britain wristwatch , signed by Wing Commander "Tom Neil." darn great chronometer in more sense than one !!!

I say "So far" sounding smug , but I've got to take the kids to both sets of grand parents tomorrow and Tuesday, so we're getting 3 Christmas's this year !!

Fighter Squadron - ....A great insight to 'behind the scenes stuff with 5 Squadron at Coningsby' 10/10 from me :clap:

RAF Coningsby Action ....... Features from 1994 - 2001 Again Excellent Footage and well worth the money :thumbs:
