Even the Swedes!
Came across a great blog on classic aircraft the other day - problem was it was in what looked like Swedish - still the photos were spectacular. There was even a video clip of a 747 coming into land at Kai Tak in Hong Kong - an experience I know only too well.
Imagine if you will all those magnificant flying machines and my consternation at suddenly coming across this magazine cover!
 Malcolm - you are not alone!
 It then reminded me to post some photos my friend David took while we were in Marrakech:
Pissed off with Fleabay
I’m cross with myself again. I have had some really good experiences with ebay - and some real stinkers. Well last week I bought a pair of replacement bumpers for Stephanie’s Escort (Both cracked - long story). Delivered by courier on Saturday, and the rear one was the wrong type. So I looked on ebay and there was a rear bumper near Heathrow. Great, cheap too. So I bought that and off we went to collect it. Got stuck in traffic so took 3 hours! Got home to find it was not an original Ford part, and had been modified. Grrr. I now have two rear bumpers that I will have to put back on ebay, while still looking for an original.
A roll of brake pipe and flaring tools looked like a good deal, so I bought that too, but when it arrived the pipe had been crushed by the tools in a rather shoddy package. Sent the pipe back for a replacement - nothing. Seller claims not to have received it. Double grrrrr.
Oh well I’ve got a couple of days off before Christmas so I hope to get up to the farm for some Aston therapy.
