Yes, day trips are only viable when the tides are right - and they're
probably not by the sound of it. To get a full day in Guernsey, it might be
necessary to have 2 nights there so you'll have to decide on that basis.
Keep in touch off-list as I'm not here often these days...

[Chris Mitchell]

Won't be able to get to the South West then. However, we'll be in Guernsey
from the 5th. If you fancy a day trip or a couple of days, we'd be happy to
show you around. There are flights from Exeter and boats from Poole...

Thanks Ann. of course it was completely planned. I saw the 3 women
walking along the street, thought "I've got 12 seconds on the
self-take timer so if I press the button at the right time they'll be
in the shot". If you believe that, you'll believe anything...

..the "Gherkin" in the background was intentional though.

Nice set too. I particularly like the chef smoking and playing with his

I didn't have the nerve to get Gilbert and George so well done there. For
everyone else, there's a back story. As we came up to Fournier Street, Bob
said "The artists Gilbert and George live in this street". And just by
magic, they appeared. To say that Bob was chuffed is an extreme

Ah I see. Strictly speaking, the term "Nightingale" only applies to
nurses trained ay St Tommy's. Being a mere physio, Karin's never

Re: Peso - WEST Winslow (cf chris's corner shot)

[Chris Mitchell]

Excellent set Ann. Winslow Bucks is very different, as you can imagine.
It's recorded in the Domesday book of 1086 so has been around for a short
while...

Bob will have to confirm, but the nightingale reference is because of the
Florence Nightingale hospice charity shop on the left. Maybe Bob is
thinking of another song, "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square"?

Incidentally we carried on to visit the historic Clayton House where
Florence used to spend her summers as she was a friend of the owners.

My ex-Vulcan bomber pilot, harmonica playing friend has one of those.

Chris's jersey is vintage (mine are faux vintage).

Chris's MX is pre-1979 I believe; my Leica M3 is 1959, the 50mm lens is
1968.

Our charming companion, not seen in the video, is of course still only 21,
as she has been for many years and will remain for many, many more.


And of course, the limestone rocks are in the order of 260 million years
old.

Eroica and drone

Bob W and I took part in Eroica Britannia - a 55 mile cycle ride where
you have to ride a bike that's at least 30 years old, and dress up in
period gear. A friend of mine met us on the route and took this `drone

Re: GESO - Photo Exhibit

A great set and I trust the exhibition went well. To me, they're a

Fantastic work Mark.

Maybe. A few of us from the local club booked a model for an afternoon

wanted to do and it worked well. Of course there were others there to
help set up the lights. I've never felt the urge to have another go -
maybe I will after your comments. I don't belong to the club any more

Blooming typical. We put all that effort into making them perfect and

Well well! No, I visited Kingston only once. I was based at the ex
Folland plant in Hamble near Southampton. This was in the Hawker
Siddeley days just prior to nationalisation and the establishment of
British Aerospace, so 1969 to around 1978. I think the Hunter work, by
then, was for a refurbishment programme, maybe for the Swiss airforce.
Hamble didn't have an airfield so only made bits and pieces. Some of
them were significant including most of the Harrier fuselage and
Trident wings and tailplanes. There was also a sectioned off bit
making chunks of Blue Streak missiles, but I'm probably not supposed
to talk about that even now!

Cheers, Chris

Re: PESO: WH 17

[Chris Mitchell]

Very good Dan - and through a canopy too?

They used to make canopies for Hawker Hunters, Harriers and Hawks  in
the aircraft factory where I did my apprenticeship. Very specialised
and I remember seeing a bloody great sheet of hot Perspex being draped
over a greasy wooden mould. It was then subject to a lot of polishing
to make it optically perfect and to remove any distortion - after all,
the pilot ideally would want to see the target / runway in the right
place.. It took many hours.
