you gonna be helping out and doing a bit of work then ??? Wink

not sure what your planning to do in the area but Coventry transport museum is worth a look (and its free) and just down the road. Stratford is a nice place to visit, Warwick castle etc. Cool

If you get Lynn in your place for a day you will be up to date with every build by the time she has gone, next model designed and Mike's racking will be up on the Mezanine to boot - it will be like a tornado ripped through STW Twisted Evil

The camera goes everywhere. If it is not allowed someplace I do no go. Smile

Radios fixed. Was a dirty fuse on the negative terminal at the battery. On load the very small resistance reduced the voltage at the radios to 5.7v so they would not work as their internal protection detected the current travelling on the antenna earth instead of the battery return. Very Happy

Hey Lynn,
You could take pictures of the next kits being manufactured & post them on the forum as well as helping STW to catch up Laughing Laughing

It's ok Craig we were not having a dig, we know you are all busy fabricating and photographing slows down the process, but it's good to see how the manufacturing process works and get a few shots of your work to go in the build diary along with our own. For a few days you'll have your own resident photographer to assist. Very Happy

Webcams in the factory.....now there's an idea. But can think of as many reasons against the idea as I can for it.
