When this forum works well it's brilliant. Why do we spend so much time arguing amongst (among??) ourselves?

I was just thinking earlier, what are the chances of the Lyneham thread and the Norfolk airfield threads both having people on here with insider knowledge?! :thumright:

Why not melt the reg in as you originally suggested and then just paint in the newly created grooves using a small paintbrush?

It would make more sense to chain them to the towbar surely?

What type of paint are you going to use Pete?

I guess something like that yellow survey paint should be fairly hard wearing...?

Many thanks to Gas Guzzler who is sorting me and thanks too to the rest of you: I had a larf at your prattish humour

This Forum is truly the best..
