  1. G'day John and welcome to the forums.

     

    Sounds like you're more than capable of overcoming your pedal problem.

     

    As far as the fogging of the windscreen goes, you might like to try the following.

     

    Make Your Own Anti-fog Spray

     

    Have you ever noticed how when your bathroom mirror fogs up it’s always when you’re in a rush and need to use it? This article will teach you how to make your own anti-fog glass spray.

     

    Once you make your own anti-fog glass spray can also be used on your car’s wind shield to stop it from fogging up.

     

    So just how easy is it to make your own anti-fog glass spray? Very! All you need is white vinegar, hot water and a lint free cloth!

     

    All you need to do to make your own anti-fog glass spray is to firstly pour two ounces of white vinegar into a bowl. The next step is to add one quart of hot water to the white vinegar.

     

    Your make your own anti-fog glass spray is now ready to use! To use the mixture dip your lint free cloth into the bowl, wring it out and then wipe it over the mirror or the inside of your car wind shield and then allow it to dry off. And presto! No more fog! You can now use your bathroom mirror when ever you want… fog free!

     

    Never again will you have to worry about not being able to see when you drive because of a fogged up wind shield. Use this make your own anti-fog glass spray as often as you like or need to in order to ensure fog free mirrors and wind shields!

     

    Hope this helps you.

     

    Kind Regards

  2. On the map (Online - Who's on line) I appear on College Road St Lucia in the Uni of Qld - somehow it can't find Springsure even though it is on the map. In an earlier rendition (one of the other options that had a map?) I appeared in the middle of Australia.Sue

    Geez! you sure seem to move around Sue:smile: , but i'm certain yet another bit of the Baker brilliance will get it sorted in no time.

  3. You have to love this poster. I would like to be banging the girl in Picture Number one. But sadly that is not the case.Having said that, Im not as big as old mate in picture six.LOL Well Tom, I dunno, he played a great part under pressure in TopGun.(Not the first choice apparently).But he owns and flies a Mustang called (wait for it) "Kiss Me Kate". He knows where to go for some hanky panky.LOL

    Brilliant poster!

  4. Who's sitting on their Fat wallet.augie.gif.8d680d8e3ee1cb0d5cda5fa6ccce3b35.gif LoL

    You could be right on the money there spacesailor, even if its full of bills etc.

    My chiro always went crook on me, because i'd drive around all day with my wallet in my back pocket. He said most tradies do it, and it actually twists your pelvis out of alignment. This then needs adjustment before he can loosen the other bits up.

     

    My backs giving me grief right now, says he who has just removed his wallet from his back pocket again.

     

    Idiots like me don't always heed his advise for more than a week or two.

     

     

  5. A police officer, though scheduled for all-night duty at the station, was relieved of duty early and arrived home four hours ahead of schedule, at 2 in the morning. Not wanting to wake his wife, he undressed in the dark, crept into the bedroom and started to climb into bed.

     

    Just then, his wife sleepily sat up and said, "Mike, dearest, would you go down to the all-night drug store in town and get me some aspirin? I've got a splitting headache."

     

    "Sure, honey," he said, and feeling his way across the dark room, he got dressed and walked over to the drug store.

     

    As he arrived, the pharmacist looked up in surprise, "Say," said the druggist, "I know you - aren't you a policeman? Senior Constable Fenwick, right?"

     

    "Yeah, so?" said the officer.

     

    "Well, why are you all dressed up in a pilots uniform?"095_cops.gif.448479f256bea28624eb539f739279b9.gif

  6. A policeman was patrolling a local parking spot overlooking a golf course. He drove by a car and saw a couple inside with the dome light on. There was a young man in the driver's seat reading a flying magazine and a young lady in the back seat knitting. He stopped to investigate. He walked up to the driver's window and knocked. The young man looked up, cranked the window down, and said, "Yes Officer?"

     

    "What are you doing?" the policeman asked.

     

    "What does it look like?" answered the young man. "I'm reading my flying magazine and checking out the classifieds."

     

    Pointing towards the young lady in the back seat, the officer then asked, "And what is she doing?"

     

    The young man looked over his shoulder and replied, "What does it look like? She's knitting."

     

    "And how old are you?" the officer then asked the young man.

     

    "I'm nineteen," he replied.

     

    "And how old is she?" asked the officer.

     

    The young man looked at his watch and said, "Well, in about twelve more minutes she'll be eighteen."

  7. Hi Doug ..... whilst it certainly was not said by the US governtment, it was pretty well understood by me as a student at the time. The yanks lobbied the Au govt VERY hard to get them to buy the F111 and NOT the TSR2. That decision gave the Stupid pommie pollies the excuse they needed to cancel what was beginning to be a very succesfull looking design. They made the excuse of cost overuns, but they had been caused by constant specification changes from the government, including the ability to lift a heavy nuclear weapon off a ploughed field landing ground (DUH). It cast more to cancel the contract than it would have done to proceed with it. Despite requests by BAC to keep the two completed and flying prototypes airworthy for testing the new frontiers that the a/c was capable of exploring, the pollies insisted that they and the jigs were broken up so that the project could never be resurected. Am I bitter ... yes ... still (although perhaps not quite so passionately as back then!). The decision to go with the F111 cost this country and the UK big time in money, jobs, and defence capability (then and in the future) ......all to the benefit of the US arms industry ......Ah well, it'll all be tghe same in 100 years!

    Cheers

    Similar to the Harrier story in the early days.

     

    If The Yanks had designed it, it would have been the best thing since the introduction of sliced bread. (The Faulklands war proved that)

     

    So many brilliant pommie designs over the years have been shelved by the pollies for B.S.reasons, including the Bristol Brabazon, etc, etc, etc.

     

    Gives one the S.H.1.T's to even think about it

     

     

  8. Thats funny Tommo:giggle:

     

    Must have been made from a home-build kit with the assemby instrucions still attached.

     

    Didn't even know they were available, but as they say, "we learn something new every day".

  9. Thanks for those links, well written articles; actually the most sensible thing I've ever read in The Canberra Times (AKA The Communist Times) I think. It's a shame there is no suitable airfield for RAA / GA in the area or even just over the border in NSW.

    Next time vote Ian Baker for Prime Minister. He'd fix things if anyone could.

    He'd have shopping centre car parks made into landing strips, and Kmarts changed to "Clear-Prop" outlets.

  10. Great photos Frank you spoilt bugger, the sceenery looks incredible around your patch.

     

    John, I loved your shots too.

     

    Brought back many memories.

     

    Geez thats a tall monstrosity being built just S/W of Tower Bridge, at least you are flying above that smog.

     

    Beware of my nephew when operating out of Redhill, he flys model helis and probably also his 200MPH+ jet model not far from the airfield.

  11. If you go to 'Forums and then Morgan Aeroworks you will find many posts pertaining to the Morgan Aircraft.Alan.

  12. My heart-felt feelings go out to all concerned at Jaspers over this sad situation, over which, it was not humanly possible for those closeby, to have more control over the situation.

     

    Sadly, even had essential services been close to hand, the outcome may have not been much different.

     

    To Andy and the others who did all that it was possible for them to do, try to sleep with the knowledge that you did just that, and no one could ask for more.

     

    My thoughts have also been with friends who departed just prior to this catastrophe, who must have been in shock on hearing the very sad news minutes later, but having lost their phone numbers, have not been able to contact them to offer a little support for he shock that they must have endured on hearing this tragic news.
