Hi Paul,

I'll try to remember and bring some aircraft instruments.

Peter

Norman Raeburn · 17th May 2012, 8:35 pm

Hi Folks, It's just over a week to the Scottish Meet and I am trying to get my workshop into some kind of order. If anyone else is interested in attending them please let me know. People from the English side of the border welcome (no passports required yet). We don't bite and it's usually a good day out. Best regards, Norman.

Radio Wrangler · 17th May 2012, 8:50 pm

If anybody needs a lift from Crossford/Dunfermline, just PM.

David

Peter, if you need aircraft instruments, I believe Chief Petty Officer Pertwee and Able Seaman Johnson dumped a load off at Dalgety Bay in a ploy to create a shortage and put the price up...

kalee99 · 17th May 2012, 10:37 pm

Hi all,
Lift available with me & also a bit of cargo room! Will be traveling from North east area to Scotland on the Saturday.
Drop me a PM if you want transport

CPO Pertwee. The navy lark on the light programme?

Radio Wrangler · 17th May 2012, 11:51 pm

Well, someone dumped some radioactive ooh-nasty on the shore at Dalgety Bay, and there can't be that many such stores 'operatives' in the navy, can there? It had to have been Mr Pertwee, when Captain Povey wasn't looking.

Very Oooh nasty indeed. Kalee99 messes around with geiger counters and stuff like that, and you only have to look at his thumbnail to see what it's done to him.

Has everyone coming to Fife for the first time been told that they need Hazmat suits until they get safely past Kircaldy?

David

Norman Raeburn · 18th May 2012, 12:28 am

Hi David, When you meet Paul you will se he his nothing like his avatar. And it is Kirkcaldy (not like me to pick up on spelling mistakes). I look forward to meeting you on the day, we are a friendly bunch honestly?? Best regards to all. Norman

Radio Wrangler · 18th May 2012, 8:28 am

Hi Norman, I keep getting Kirkcaldy wrong. I should have played safe and picked Glenrothes. To preserve symmetry I can never remember Torphichen which seems to grow additional 'f's and 't's.

My thumbnail is real. I'm the more intelligent looking one of the pair. I have no idea who the guy on top is.

David

kalee99 · 24th May 2012, 1:38 pm

Yes Peter,
Please do. They usually bend the pointer

some of them were so active you could read a newspaper by their glow

Paul.

Hi Norman , all

I am hoping to see you all myself and was wondering if anyone could make use of a good, working Mullard AW 21/11 CRT and scan coils . Removed a while ago from a Perdio portarama, free of charge to the first taker! I will bring it with me on Sunday

kind regards
Terry

kalee99 · 25th May 2012, 9:18 pm

Hi all,

Setting off tomorrow for a nice run up the Scottish roads. Looks like the weather is going to smile on us this time

?
See you all Sunday,
Paul

Ken · 26th May 2012, 9:37 am

Hi All

Radioman and I will be setting of from here at about 8.30am tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing everybody again.

Regards,

Ken.

peter_scott · 27th May 2012, 6:03 pm

There was a good turn-out of regulars and new faces and I certainly enjoyed catching up with the olds and meeting the news.

Paul of skeletal fame brought along his Geiger counter and I was very pleased to discover that my aircraft instruments displayed negligible counts when compared with his pocket watch. I won't feel quite so guilty about having the grandchildren in my den from now on.

I didn't take my camera but there were a few pictures taken so hopefully others will better document the event.

Many thanks to Norman and Donna not to mention other family members who keep a constant stream of nice food and refreshments throughout the day.

Peter

Ken · 27th May 2012, 6:58 pm

Hi All

Can I also add my thanks to Norman and family for yet another great meet. It was good to see everybody again.

Regards,

Ken.

Radio Wrangler · 27th May 2012, 7:45 pm

Thanks, Norman and family.
What a buffet! and perpetual tea for those fuelled by it.
A thoroughly enjoyable occasion and a chance to put faces to some names.

David

HamishBoxer · 27th May 2012, 8:10 pm

Thank you again to Norman and Family for excellent food (again) and for being able to stick my camper down the drive in order to keep himself Hamish Boxer cool.

As stated an excellent day, yes I have pictures to post later.

HamishBoxer · 27th May 2012, 8:32 pm

Todays pictures.

HamishBoxer · 27th May 2012, 8:34 pm

Excellent to meet David Simpson for the first time.

Alistair D · 27th May 2012, 9:50 pm

Yes it was good to meet David as well.

Al

Alistair D · 27th May 2012, 10:10 pm

I chatted to a few people today without being formally introduced. I am at the far right of picture 1 drinking the cup of tea.
