They should have asked FAE to give it the once over beforehand.
BTW, Mick, did you manage to suss out whereabouts in Ibiza you were?

Oh dear Mick: Jack Jones once said: 'The line between anecdotage & dotage is very thin!'
So, when I was an apprentice at B'ham Public Works Dept (1953 ish), the mechanics runnabout was an early Landrover SWB. I remember at least 3 gear levers, with black, yellow and red knobs to manage the fourwheel drive with high and low gear ratios, P.T.O. etc. I think the engine was unusual, in that it had overhead inlet and side exhaust valves.
They were good days.......If you looked over your shoulder you could still remember bombers over Brum and the first post-war bananas.
I'll get my coat.

Seize the Day! Quigley Hollow is a great place to start.
So beautifully written, Gwyn, the image is so clear and I can almost imagine myself back in those times.
Nice one.

Managed to get a nice, different plinky plonky in earlier.
Don't know if any of you fine peeps had seen my thread in the Pistol section regarding the copper coated lead BB? Managed to buy some today and enjoyed a very pleasurable couple of hours with the little Umarex Walther PPK shooting paper targets in my steel pellet trap, something that I couldn't do with steel BBs.
I don't have the space and suitable back stop material to use the little thing as intended, mangling all manners of targets at different ranges, but this at least allows me to finally use the thing. And my pellet trap is quite large, so I'll be able to stick some smaller cans and assorted other targets inside it.
Great fun!
And tomorrow night I'll hopefully be reporting on a new addition........

I'm not an expert, Gwyn, but I think the inlet over exhaust engine was used in the Series 1 Landrover and the very, very early Series 2s before the change to the overhead valve motor.
The gear levers were a bit fun weren't they, the black knob was the four speed main box, then a second gear knob for high and low gears, then a third knob on the floor you pushed for four wheel drive, then you could have a fourth knob for overdrive or PTO.
I only ever ran one series vehicle, a Series 3 Lightweight, but it didn't last long after I discovered how much petrol it drank.
Come on Tony it's spill the beans time
