It’s The Weekend

[jims-terrano]

Well it’s the weekend and beautiful weather. What’s everyone getting up to, discovering rust on their truck? Whatever you are up to I hope you’re enjoying the weekend.

Been to supermarket and fell asleep, been for a short walk this afternoon and about to have a sleep :lol

Tomorrow I’m visiting ex RAF Church Fenton for a “Fenton Feeder All Day Breakfast” event, they’re opening the place to visitors so a good chance to visit the old place and see how it’s changed. Been many years since I last flew from there. The hanger that the aircraft we flew in is now a film studio, the ITV series Victoria is filmed there.

Cut some Leylandaii hedge and put clippings in an old half ton sack, trimmed off some dead branches.

Started taking up some pavers round our top pond so I can do the edging again due to 10 years of frost damage. This time I am going to put some small foundations in place to keep it all firm.

It will take me about a fortnight a bit at a time if the weather holds. B&A pictures to follow.

The tall pointy leaf plant (foreground) came out the River Trent it's an invasive species called the Duck Potato! I like it as it removes Nitrates from the water without taking up too much space. It multiplies by bulb division at the base as well as by seeds from the white flowers.

In the background is George when he was moulting (he died a few years back aged 16) and Percy the Chihuahua he is very much still alive he is about 11 years old now.

Conservatory was replaced some 4 years ago due to general deterioration - it was over 20 years old - replaced with warm roof version but kept the base as it was still good.

That pond looks nice Ted.

Well a flying visit to former RAF Church Fenton this morning, found this part of an aircraft which has left me puzzled trying to find out what it was.

[macabethiel]

That's just the shallow top half it connects via a covered stream to the deep end that at the other end of the garden. By deep I mean 5' 10".

Aileron perhaps not just a bit of wing with landing gear for one side or was it a rhetorical question?

It is centre section of wing, has both undercarriage, couldn’t be sure but looks like undercarriage is either fixed or folds forward. The top of the wing I could see marks where a cowl used to be, maybe for undercarriage to fold forwards into. Cowls would of been too close to fuselage to be engine cowls.

[jims-terrano]

A friend of mine has just solved the puzzle, it’s an Avro Anson. The cowls are for the engines but reach forward in front quite a way so the props do clear the fuselage and the undercarriage does fold forward into the cowls below the engines.

Well spent all weekend at work working and on break on eBay searching for hidden gems [emoji23] I have found one which I do want to share but I want to keep it a secret u till it’s fitted at the end of April so unfortunately it won’t be ready when I come to the meet up

After going down to see my Mum yesterday, for Mothers day (early), today was spent removing the front bumper from the Jeep.

Thy number plate will cover it over, and will hinge up when I need access.

While I was taking it apart, a came across this stuck inside one of the recesses, does this mean I am down some horsepower?
