Warbird Workshop and Historic racing
Did anyone watch the “Warbird Workshop” tv show on the Yesterday satellite/ Freeview (I think) channel on Thursday evening?
Featured Steve Hartley buying and having restored a Czech L29 military fast jet trainer aircraft. Also included a couple of short clips of him in his McLaren F1 historic race car....as you do. |

I used to have a model kit of something very close to the strange vehicle shown in the introduction. I think my model had better rear axle damping than the thing shown in the film. When we lived in Germany for a while there was an American forces family living at the end of the street. One of the sons was my age. I thought I had a few toys and a regular supply of models but nothing like they could get. Huge model battleships and all sorts of stuff. I recall one model humanbeing - a see through outer body and all of the major organs to paint and fit into it. Like nothing I had ever seen in a UK based shop or a forces NAAFI. But then most of their stuff was like that. Thinking back, the human was, iirc, a male. Probably. I guess there wire limits for allowed reality. |

For future reference, Peter, you might want file this link away. https://www.baytowncoffeecompany.com/ I especially recommend the Bogglehole blend. Delivered by post. 20% off for orders placed today (sorry, short notice but I've only just seen the thread today ...) If you order Coxswain blend (V. good but I go with Bogglehole) the RNLI gets a cut of the proceeds. |

For those budding photographers out there that don't want to lug loads of gear especially a tripod around with them I bought one of these, they only cost £8 and use it for taking low down shots of anything. You can use it on a wall instead of a conventional tripod and it folds down flat to 25mm and it will go into a pocket. Although I use it for a conventional camera and a camcorder you can use it for a phone with a tripod adapter.

There's reports running round social media that Sir Stirling has died. I don't know if it's true, it allegedly came from Doug Nye. Any news?

Stirling was a lovely man whom I had the privilege and pleasure of knowing back in the sixties. He was gracious enough to put myself and a couple of chums up for membership of the Steering Wheel Club, and whenever we were in Central London we would call in on him at his, for the time, ultra modern house squeezed into a gap in Mayfair.
RIP Stirling. |

Not entirely unexpected, but he's been there all my life and enriched it with so many great drives.

Only just heard about Stirling - never really saw him when he was Formula 1 racing as he retired when I was 12, and of course TV coverage wasn't as widespread then, but he was always an icon of what a racing driver should be, in the days when it wasn't just a case of racing in the one category. His Mille Miglia exploits were (and remain) of course legendary! RIP, the best driver never to be World Champion.

Grant, the model you remember was called The Visible Man. My father sold them in his laboratory & medical equipment shop and although probably intended for 13 year olds they were often bought as an organ location aid by first year medical students at the university. You're right about the gender neutrality, a demure bulge where certain bits should be probably left graduates rather vague on male urology. Hopefully they were able to augment their studies later. My summer job from 10 years old was making up dissection kits for the students, filled with fearsome scalpels and assorted other implements with which to injure myself |
