What were you working on today?!

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Could I send my two babies over to you? 8)

Sure.

 

[Lucky13]

Could I send my Duesenberg SJ as well?






If I had one..... Spotless work mate!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Jan.

I enjoyed my one-day weekend, caught up all the lost sleep from a week of early shifts last week, did a bit of washing, a bit of work on my 1/72 Sea Fury, a bit of solitaire wargaming, bought a new PC game from Steam, now trying to put together a list of paints to get from Hannants when I go over there tomorrow before work 8)

I enjoyed my one-day weekend, caught up all the lost sleep...

I had a two-day weekend
but I must admit, I caught up alot of lost sleep too. Last five weeks have been commuting to one of our other sites in Worcestershire, so early starts, lots of driving and long hours in between. Only two more days to go then three days holiday (five if you include the coming weekend) 8)

I used to commute Esher-Greenford, Esher-Basildon or Esher-Maidstone, I hated spending half the day trundling around the M25. I now have a little jaunt from Shenley to Hemel Hempstead every day 8) And after ordering my paints and two new kits online this morning, I have spent the day imposing order upon chaos at work. The job got done and no-one got too upset, so I'm now treating myself to a well-earned beer or three

Started working 3AM to noon this week to try and avoid the heat. So far all I've worked on this week is the 70' GTX.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Man, that makes for a long day.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

It's not bad. I'm not use to going to bed with the sun still up though.

 

[RabidAlien]

Nyquil, my friend. Nyquil. Two or three nights of that, and your body will adjust itself nicely to whatever whacked-out schedule you desire. Learned that trick in the Navy while pulling mind-numbing shift-work and having to adjust to crazy schedules.


My latest tinkering....a desktop hard drive clock (not quite done yet, but at least it stands up on its own!

You're going to need more RAM...

 

[RabidAlien]

Nah, 512Mb is enough. I'm not (drum roll!) over-clocking it.

I'll get me hat.

da-boom-tish!

Somebody get the door for him...

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

The trap door or the back door?

 

[Capt. Vick]

A trench, 125 ft long x 3 ft deep x 1 ft wide, with a rubber sheet (rhizome barrier) installed and filled back in with earth in an attempt to contain the bamboo in my yard. Exhausting and frustrating work....

 

[Erich]

can dig it Rabid, at least it will be easy enough to clean

 

[vikingBerserker]

I have to admit, that's pretty interesting.

I found out today whilst working on my family tree that a distant relative was a Fighter Pilot on Hurricane MkI &II's he served as a Pilot Officer on 615, 607 Squadrons RAF and a Flying Officer on 258 Squadron 1939 -1942.
It is there that the trail goes cold.
I know he was stationed at RAF Jurby on the Isle of Man doing a fair bit of convoy patrols with the odd skirmish. He resurface's in 1943 at his wedding as a Flight Lieutenant [Admin} ??
I have pictures of his aircraft with their Squadron Markings but do not have any photo's of `Hurricanes' with 258 Sqdn Markings of "FH" Can anyone point me in the right direction or offer help in any way. Thanks for reading.

 

[fubar57]

I have 258Sqn. wearing FH (Apr 1939 - Sep 1939) and ZT (Aug 1944 - Dec 1945). They were in the Far East in '42
