Hmm, we've had what looks like a military transport fly over about 3 times, in both directions. We're just off Manchester airport's flight path, but the plane isn't following the flight path, flying at a height I'd expect for landing, but no gear down.

Maybe it's doing some sort of traffic/people out and about survey ?

Did it have a "T" tail, prop driven and make a funny noise ? If the answer is yes then it was probably an Airbus A400 M Grizzly .

It's been over another 4 times.

Not the best pic.

Jet. T tail, 4 engines but quiet and not as big as a globemaster ?

It looks like a Globemaster from the pics.
The RAF have a few on lease .
As you haven't got anything to compare it with the size can be deceptive.

Ah... "The Persistence of Memory" I do believe ;-)

I had fun smashing the clocks - they were waiting to go to the tip, so figured a bit more damage wouldn't hurt LOL

Don`t know much about planes, but a C17 Globemaster landed at Luton Airport. Could it be the same one looking for somewhere

Damn, I was just about to say you've had a smashing time but you've already just about said it.

Why have 6 when a really good one will do ! Mind you , you could lose your teeth !

Sneezed twice today. Teeth fine.

Plaster on the wall can be replaced.

Well now you got to hammer the point home.

I dismantled the forks again yesterday to see if I could improve things . One of the sliders would move up and down easily whereas the other one wouldn't . By trying to compress the stiff slider as if it was a Bullworker exercise thing water poured out . I continued to do this until water stopped coming out. Once empty of water the slider would compress a bit but required some force . I reassembled the forks after greasing them and tested them again. The forks will compress but will not return . I've given up on them .
I compared them with the forks on my Carrera Vulcan this afternoon . The ones on my Carrera are much better and resemble motorcycle forks in having springs visible behind the gators.

Thanks, must have been, as not many jet's that look like them. I had thought of the Airbus on googling, but it's prop.

Right, time for a
