Thank you. I'm a stickler for perfection.

The average touch down speed of a jet airliner is about 145mph hence the use of the supermarket trolley wheel with good bearings. Too fast for a Greyhound to grab it.

The final landing approach guide is by a radar beam. It's the acual touch down where the stick does it's bit.

Good idea, but would need a lot of research whereas sticks have been known and used for thousands of years for their dependability. I intended to stick with wooden sticks really. Wooden knotless lengths of sticks like Ash and Pine thoroughly painted and are quite bendy before snapping. Boat applications need snappy sicks like Birch.

I can't see Airbus refusing such an oppertunity to share and adopt my simple invention without any silly modifications. The hardest part would be drilling holes in the plane for the the lowering string and hinge screws, connecting up to the controls a piece of cake. I used to build and fligh control line model planes and the stick trick worked very well. A chap here has an electric powered radio controlled plane, ready built of course with whom I've begged to install the system on it but he doesn't seem too keen. Sticks of wood are available everywhere. Wickes, Homebase, cut from tree's, nicked from fences. it doesn't need any further development which might impair it's simplicity and performance. Of course a few shares can be yours if you pull your weight in the enterprize.

The humble stick, wooden stick that is, not that old stick as in a person. This stick can be a savior in many applications. Take boats for example. If your boat won't pass under certain bridges due to a lofty wheelhouse or somesuch structure a long stick is attached to the bows sticking upright. As the stick hits the bridge it snaps connecting a contact switch and battery to fire a small charge of dynamite in the too tall wheelhouse to collapse it before it strikes the bridge. A stick poking down at the stern a few inches below the rudder when reversing up close to a bank will snap off when it strikes bottom the snapping sound to warn you that it's trying to save your rudder from getting busted. Carry a few spare sticks for replacments. Now comes the big one, could make my fortune and become a multi billionaire. It's to do with aeroplanes. Aeroplanes coming in to land can be the most hazardous part of flying aeroplanes. My invention again envolves the humble wooden stick. This invention doesn't envolve any power or unreliable electromics for it to function. Landing planes no matter what size, civillian or military can use the humble stick to assist landing in dense fog or a cloud burst when the pilots cannot see to touch down. This stick of variable length depending on the size and length of the aircraft envolved is fixed under the front of the planes belly by a simple hinge. At the tail of the stick is attached a caster wheel.''A supermarket trolly caster wheel is Ideal as they have good bearings which will withstand the speed to which it will become accustomed to. A length of string also attached to the tail end leading up through a hole in the aircraft. The front of the stick is connected to the elevator, ailerons and engine speed control levers. Now imagine the plane commin in to land blind in dense fog. The stick is lowered fully by the string and as the sticks caster wheel hits the runway the stick moves upwards operating the afore said controls automatically to cause a pleasing and safe flare out and landing with no chance of pilot error. Think how much safer you'd feel if your holiday plane was so equiped. I'm approachin Airbus in Toulose first about this invention as I prefer them than Boeing.

I avoid using Jubilee clips if I can. They tend to pinch under the scroll screw and the curved bit underneath it never really conforms properly with curvature of the hose and tend to leak there. Best to use clips which have a perfect all around circular gggrip on the hose.

One side of a boxing ring. There should be three more portable sides to it.

Venice is built on Piles, piles of Elm.

By the state of the spanner slot on that ring which looks like it cracked by whacking it very hard with a hammer and chistle when trying to tighten it.

The crack in that lock ring aint natural. The bolts been put there to help keep it still because of it.

Self tapping screws are the worst.

It's not much good waving a debit card in front of someone you want to do a deal with, ''knock em down in price''. You can'y beat waving a wad of bank notes in front of em for that. Make they're eyes boggle.

It's fine, but best to moor at the far end near the Causeway bridge, at end of navigation.

It isn't entirely free. Whilst heating the calorifier the engine takes longer to reach normal running temp, therefor using more fuel. A bit like car headlamps, most folk think they come on for nothing, they don't, also use more fuel as the alternator puts more load on the engine. There aint nothing free.

Gear for chainsawing.

Mine has, probably an industrial inlet manifold. It's not connected as I have a startermotor. It starts instantly in the winter without any help from de comps ect.

Keep the blade greased when not in use.

And some have a 12v heater element in the induction air intake to aid cold weather hand starting with the decompression levers.

My bow saw is 20 odd years old. Same original blade on which I carry out dentistry now and then, settiing and filing the teeth now and then.

What goes ninety nine bomp? Centipede with a wooden leg.

The original silencer as was supplied by Lister for those engines were Burgess, flange and nut and bolt fitted, not slide together with clamps like many cars are.

MG Magnette farina body too. Mk3 1489cc and 4 1622cc.

Port side. Upper long plate directly below air cooling outlet box. Throttle cable linkage probably attached to it.

What the hell does it matter, just don't click on the Wiki opinions thingy. It'd be a lot bigger than that if I posted on it how to make an electric dark bulb.
