Whatever you deleted worked.

A very astute person once said; "It is impossible to re-create the past. People, places and attitudes are so different now. It is best, just to bask in the pleasures of our own nostalgic memories of what once was".

"It is impossible to re-create the past".
You could make a bloody good stab at it by; Put a case of Tennants in the hot press, Draw the curtains in your bedroom, Put the heating up to max, Strip down to your skiddies, Wrap a towel around your midriff, Play a cassette of Demis Rousis or Nana on your Akai which was bought in Change Alley, Invite a few friends in, Talk about Bill Shankley, Alex Young and Billy Bremner, Drink warm Tennants, Let the beer bubbles come down your nose, Turn -in at 23.45 because you are on Watch at midnight. |
What about EBAY. Most of what you need is available to reassemble without the need to recreate. A bit strange to have a Citizen slave running from a Seko master that won't go backwards and so far only one end of a telegraph (with no standby or FWE marked). I did idly look for a Hokushin data logger and am still looking for a Marconi Seaguard. My black museum could probably provide most of a thyripart excitation system.
I am sure between us we could probably do most of the outfit leaving the only problem a hull and perhaps the main engine (sorry could only help there with MIG can't do the real thing). |

I'm not the brightest socket in the set but I cannot find any photograph on #1. And no drink since Thursday evening! |

We are obviously either missing something or perhaps just 'on the outer'! :jester: |
When Texaco and Regent combined the Regent Liverpool changed name to the Texaco Bristol ( I think). Never knew it was built in Belfast. And why should I, in 1962 I had only one qualification, 11 Plus (Failed). Condemned to a secondary school and a life of toil and misery, sweat of my brow etc. I regard Charles deGaul as being responsible.

This can't be the first time,over either of the Forums,where we have managed to get so far on what we all thought was a deleted thread,surely??

First the post
Second the caption Third time pays for all, the photo perhaps? |
Tmac your spelling is poor, there is no F' in photograph.

This is getting a bit like an Agatha Christie novel. We're all gathered around seeking the hidden picture.... but …. who shall reveal it ?
(If it turns out to be Sergei … I'm gonna shoot the little f***er.) :big_tongue: |
