Actually, the great irony is, they were powered by Rolls Royce Merlin 500-45! Thus, bringing the Bf109 full circle, since the prototype was powered by a Rolls Royce Kestrel engine...
A few years ago, a couple decided to only buy American, or European when not available. The one thing they could not find was, the metal pegs for the peg board tool rack. I never would have thought that.
I saw a bumper sticker today that said, I hate tweakers. I thought I was one, I like to tweak machinery! Turns out, it has a lot of different meanings. To hit with an object from a catapult, slang term for someone exhibiting compulsive or repetitive behavior, it also means, a heavy meth abuser...
I only had a run in with one member, who called me Child. I was polite with my response and he stopped. I had to laugh, since I am probably his age or older! I joke with a friend of mine who is 83 now, that the only reason I hang out with him is, he's the only one who calls me kid these days!
This is not a request, just my musings! One of the future projects that I am going to do, is put some lights in the parlor. It is intolerably dark if you come in from the front door, and no light near to turn on. Three solutions, one a simple desk lamp, and an outlet operated by a switch at the...
As the article states, they belonged to Connie Edwards. They have been sold! After his son, Tex died, he lost all interest in them. I was fortunate enough to know both of them. Tragically, Connie's brother was killed in a P-51 crash, after that, the hanger doors were simply closed. It was very...
I saw that on TV a few years back. A lot of work to bring it back! I would still rather have an old Fire Station, but, if you could find an old round house, that would do nicely!
In the couple of episodes I have seen, she has rushed back into the building to save the Dr! Then again, I have only seen about a dozen Dr Who episodes in my life, going back to the 70s, so, an expert I am not!
That reminds me, a few years ago, a friend of mine who does WWII reenactments, said he was looking to do something way different. So I suggested, Hannibal Crossing the Alps, complete with elephants!
So, show of hands, how many of you would love to have a caboose in your back yard? I have both hands up! Now that I think about it, I have been watching the show Tiny Houses, exactly how many square feet is the interior of the average caboose?
Another episode of 2006 Dr Who. I am liking Rose's replacement Freema Agyeman more and more! Oh, exterminate, exterminate, exterminate! Those in the know, will get that joke.
I was just thinking, even though both my stove and microwave are good old American names, what do you bet, that at least the clocks were made over seas? Same with my two modern TVs and my Sears lawn furniture. As for my indoor furniture, that's mostly American, just because it is mostly 40 years...
