March 2010
I've just completed a move of home and workshop to a town near the airfield. After 30 years of tinkering on many projects, and a hoarding nature, it was an enormous job.....
I used to have to drive nearly an hour to the airfield, and did that about 1500 times..... It's a pleasant drive, but a tedious waste of time, especially when I would forget to bring a tool that I needed that day..... Now I'll have much more time for tinkering and experimenting.
Cleaning out behind the workshop resulted in 200kg (440 lbs) of off-cuts of aluminium from many aircraft building/modifying/repairing projects, including several sets of slats from 701 and Savannah aircraft, all gone for recycling..... That's the result of a lot of tinkering.....
Looking forward to a fresh start in a new workshop.
