Chuck all that out and use a 427cu hemi head V8, naturally aspirated. Sounds great.

As in Daimler's!

I do believe that smartphones have reached Botswana!

Ah! Not a tail warning radar then.

Ian, how yester year. Two years ago our bank would send out new devices rather than have us do a battery change. Now they offer a recycling service as the devices have been obsolete for a couple of years. You are in the UK! Getting a new device to me is a DHL transaction, and takes a couple of week...

A Decca story. During my last months in the RAF, I was offered a job by Decca. It was sitting on the end of the production line, testing and de-snagging new build kit. I didn't take the offered job, as it was in Surrey and even in 1965 the salary offered was way below what was needed to buy a house ...

Don't worry about it. The 1st pic showed a silhouette that gave me the wrong impression of its 3D shape.

Wanted to access the Barclay's system, discovered at 17h00 on Friday night, that my Barclays Pin Sentry needs new batteries!

Anyone know what 'tail warning' radar was fitted to the RN Buccaneers?
Odd shape in the one illustrated.

It isn't the shape it looked like in the 1st pic.
This is a little clearer.

Hiding indoors with doorbell and gate motor switched off in case rude Frenchman appears and wants to View house. My action probably saved him a punch in the face, which he deserved yesterday.

I understood that he came from Liverpool.

I've always thought that his left arm to be 'doctoŕed.

From the Telegraph letters page Computers, unlike yesterday’s mechanical counting machines, can be programmed to use any number base. Why insist on tens, when we no longer count with our fingers?

Photoshop!

The distance and angle from his left shoulďer to his purported left hand, does not appear natural.

If there was any sort of accurate radalt during WWII, it was very very secret.
The 1st remotely avcurate one I saw was Radalt V as fitted to the V- Bombers.
I did a course on it mid 1957. It didn't impress me as a product.
