It sounds like a heat sensitive component some where. Mine had a habit of not coming up from idle, i.e. no monitor power up. I had to shut down with power button, unplug powercord, then plug in and start. I determined something was heat sensitive in the power supply so I took off the side panel and sat a small fan blowing into the open computer. Since it began in the middle of lockdown and it worked, I am still using it this way because I am lazy.
What a brilliant day it was Terry! Thanks for your company & especially John's model. He knew nothing about it and was really blown away! Its a long time since I have seen him get emotional & the model really means a lot to him- thanks again. We will fix another visit to Sywell this time with your chariot & then we can get you in that Bouchon & the Spit!
We will have to start thinking about the Hurricane at Biggin as the next adventure but more of that later!
A super blog Terry which I have really enjoyed reading!

I spent last week at the caravan site in Norfolk, with Karl joining me from Monday until Wednesday, in order to get the 'van sorted, cleaned and "up and running" after the winter flood damage.
It only took around four hours to get everything done, with the 'van cleaned out, the electrics checked and working, and the outside jet-washed, but I have to admit, it was very tiring, sitting in the sun, watching Karl do all the work !!!
All that's needed now is to have the new power unit fitted, in order to run the water pump and auxiliary lighting, and hang the new curtains for the main front window, which I'm having made by a friend' s missus.
The weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday showed light rain all day, but it stayed dry, with the odd light cloud, and very warm and sunny, so a bonus when doing the outside work.
We managed to get to the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, at Bungay, on Wednesday, the only day when it was cloudy and a bit cooler, with the rest of the time there being totally blue skies, and very hot - dare I say, too hot ?
The pics below, and in the following post, show the 'van set up on the same pitch as last year, but now facing outwards, and some pics from the Museum.
Pics 1 and 2. The 'van all set up, with BBQ, table and chairs, and the porch awning,
Pic 3. The view in the evening, sitting outside the 'van.
Pic 4. A relatively new addition to the Museum, since my last visit in 2016. This 23 Sqn Phantom was one of the reserve aircraft slated to go to the Falklands in July 1982, as local defence following the end of the Falklands conflict. Four aircraft departed from Coningsby, and served there for a number of years, before being replaced by Tornado F3's. The nose carries the 23 Squadron "bars", flanking the Falkland Islands crest, with the Squadron eagle badge on the fin, normally presneted in red with a yellow outline.
I'm fairly sure that this is the aircraft I was shown around at Coningsby, a couple of days before the other four departed on their long journey.
Pic 5. Bloodhound surface to air missile.
Pic 6. Javelin, again bearing the 23 Sqn colours.
Pic 7. Whirlwind, Sea Vixen, and just visible, a T-33.

Some more pics from the Museum. The main hangar is very crowded, and it's difficult to get good angles for photos, and, having covered most of the exhibits in a previous thread back in 2016, I only took a few photos this time. There are some very interesting collections and aircraft here, and it's well worth a visit, if in the area - and entry is free ( although donations are welcome ) and the cafe ( the NAAFI ) and shop prices are very reasonable indeed.
A lot of work has been done on restoration and re-paining of the aircraft on show, since my last visit, and all credit is due to the volunteer staff for all their hard work
Pic 1. Mystere, in Suez crisis markings.
Pic 2. Karl viewing what looks like a scrap yard, but all of these artefacts have been recovered from crashes at sea, and on land, in the Suffolk area, most being WW2 vintage. Doubtless, many of us here would be happy to own one of the pieces !
Pic 3. The beautiful Hunter outside the main hangar.
Pic 4. A nicely done Mosquito night fighter cockpit replica, using genuine parts.
Pic 5. The Boulton Paul Overstrand nose section replica, again using many original parts, with Karl providing scale for that huge nose turret, the world's first power-operated aircraft gun turret.
Pic 6. Bristol Sycamore rescue helicopter, with a former Royal Marines Whirlwind behind it.
Pic 7. A pair of recently restored Canberra nose sections, There is also a complete Canberra airframe on the opposite side of the access road.
I'll be going back to the "Tin Tent" in about two week's time, when I hope to get "out and about", visiting more airfield museums and sites of interest, and hopefully get some decent pics to share here.
My sincere thanks again to Karl, for all his hard work - there's no way the 'van would have been sorted without his help.

Good pics and report Terry. Glad to see things are getting sorted.
Anytime my friend, glad i was able to get it sorted for you.
It was a great couple of days, enjoyed the museum and the beers and bbq
Nice shots Terry!
Karl looks like he's contemplating a little pilfering. 
shhhhh !Karl looks like he's contemplating a little pilfering.
they're watching.
if only the car was parked a bit too far away i reckon we could've had one of them in the back unnoticed !
great shots Terry, and great assist Karl, well done.

Thanks chaps.
Heading back down to Norfolk around 3rd or 4th August, and hope to get to the museum at Framlingham ( Parham ) airfield, and a couple of others too.
Pics will be posted eventually.
