I've been thoroughly reading the P-47 articles in the past two SAMi's
and one thing struck me.  The 56th FG seems to have been very inventive

I know it is sacrilege being open on ANZAC Day, but one of my Matilda's has
a broken axel and I am out of glue.

When ever the chance arises to delve into an old book store, I always ask
the question if they have any old engineering books.
A trip into the top end of Blackpool gave one of those opportunities this

I am a nut over WW II movies and I have just finished watching "Midway" for
the umpteenth time. I consider this the best WW II movie ever made. What are
your opinions about films covering from WW I to the present? I subscribe to
Netflix who claim to have a 18000 volume of DVDs for ...

Evenin' All,
I've been offered an Elliott bench pillar drill. It will be about a 300 mile
round trip to go and see it and the chap who has it now has never run it
under power as he has not got 3 phase so can't comment on it's performance.

Wanted to buy or borrow:
12mm collet for Ward 2A capstan. 15/32" will probably do.
