I prefer to think of it as getting some more of my money to my favourite charities!

Edited to prevent politics creeping into my post.

Having a Domain Name registered means I have several email addresses at that domain for different uses, so I can normally see if an email address has been passed on without permission.

Charites that I donate to using Gift Aid do not show up as as a problem with email or other methods of contact.

It is not just the NT who do this because the rules making them charge extra or give a years entry are imposed by our Government.

I did ask at one privately owned property and got a full explanation about why they had to charge extra to obtain Gift Aid on the entire admission cost.

If anyone wants to trawl through the rules I have put a link to the relevant Gov’t information below.

I have a similar meter system to the one Peter Shaw mentions.

The supply company emails me when they want a reading, I read the meters then log in on the company website and put the readings in.

We see no use for a Smart Meter because our house operates on the ‘switch off if not using’ basis anyway.

All that works a treat, pretty cost effective too I would imagine.

Have to say that the ones I Remember on the Thames in London were not steam powered but maybe there were other types.

Hope the following links will help.

Here is a link to info on the 1912 prototype.

This might be a useful contact for info on Slipper Launches.

Love the Flight Magazines link thanks Michael. Good to see that Aeromodelling was going strong back then.

Now some good news about funding the new home for Stoke on Trent’s Spitfire.

I used the buy tickets link via the advert on the right hand side of this page (alternates with TEE Publishing). Tickets at online prices no fee if print at home is selected.

Things willl improve when right minded people get back to realising that the Earth is flat..

Try the freezer!

At least that’s where a friend found her specs after weeks of unsuccessful searching and buying a cheapo pair.

Apparently “Industrial Chic” is very fashionable at the moment.

Might be worth a look at the Bigdug website good choice of storage systems and racking.

Yes and now they can go home and read the text of their trial by media and feel safe in their bed secure in the knowledge that:-

Some of the locals were apparently happy to slag them off to the press and Keyboard Warriors have burnt out their keypads in anger. Also as a result of actions by others his normal model flying activities are likely to be even further intruded on by authority,

Welcome to innocent unless proven guilty and fair justice in England 2018.

Just wait until the company H&S Officer sees that lot!

Video works fine now using IOS 12 on an iPad.

Mr Grayling said the government was now looking to "go further" with drone-control, including considering age-limits for users.

I don’t somehow think that will really worry somebody who is already prepared to ignore laws, probably will just inconvenience legit users even more.

Nah - we can blame it on Brexit as usual!

Might that depend on which version? I certainly remember the needles settling at about the point shown until the handle was turned they would probably have been ones originating from the 1950s.

There was also a big wooden cased hand wound four wire version (if my memory is right) for testing earth rod systems.

They could certainly make your hand ache if doing a lot of testing.

These stupid people will make our leaders take even more powers that will further inconvenience legitimate and careful hobby flyers.
