I've got the model too, on the demi-lune table plus a few other odds and ends like a set of Concorde cutlery and a box of rivets (from my Grandad's shed)!
I wish I'd got the chance to fly on her but I've had to content myself visiting her at Brooklands Museum where she sits open to the elements (why they have not built her a hangar yet or got the Lottery lot to pay for it I don't understand because she is so precious! ) however the exhibit the museum do onboard is brilliant though as if you are really flying high at the speed of sound
Anyway this one is Delta-Golf who has a lot of bits made at Weybridge like the aelerons and her nose cone, its where my grandfather worked on her all those years ago and why she is so very dear to me. He was so very proud of that old girl too, he'd stop working on the garden just to hear her pass and you could set your watch by her every day as she left Heathrow. Sadly no more of course. Like I said before I'm a bit of a geek for old aeroplanes
No news as to whether a water heater was found for us for tomorrow so I guess we are outta luck on that score, but ain't that typical? I feel absolutely filthy after that wallpapering lark and I can't even have a bloody shower unless I want a nice dose of pneumonia from showering in sub zero water Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Actually we know people who have lived here for coming on 20 years to which their "house" (a term loosely used), has a chemical toilet, no bath or shower nor mains drainage, one cold water tap in the corner of the room and no kitchen either; Theres just a couple of kitchen cupboards on bricks and a sink that empties out of the wall into the garden - and thats it! TBH I do not understand how the lady of the house has tolerated it for so long because I'd have booted her OH's lazy arse into orbit within a year - yes he'd have got ruddy Olga'd alright - but as the years turn into decades it just toddles along as it has done from the day they moved over here. I'd have been long gone were it my OH who is so damned idle because the lazy git doesn't even work for a living - she works full-time to keep him FGS!!!
Righto I'm off on round-up now putting everyone to bed hoping that the ominous storm clouds allow me to do so having got caught out this afternoon when I ventured out to feed them all, but I suppose it washed some of the dirt off me haha
Night night all xxx
