Went to the South Africa Air Force museum today. After doing some work.
Saw various planes and engines, including a Spitfire next to a Merlin. All aviation museums have a Spitfire and a Merlin, it's obligatory.
And the last time I saw a Vampire, was in the de Havilland museum at London Colney, home to the prototype Mosquito and a troop-carrying glider, amongst others.
Troop carrying gliders - a disposable aircraft.
A plane that didn't even have to last as long as a £5 Ikea coffee table.
Anyway - the Vampire.
Following on from yesterday seeing the wildlife, today I got a bit more acquainted with some of it.
I had carpaccio as a starter.
Smoked crocodile (eek!) Kudu and Springbok.
At least I ate the antelopes after I'd gone to visit them. I'd have been embarrassed to look them in the eyes after eating their rellies.
And thankfully it was me eating the crocodile, rather than the other way round...

got the band saw fixed, it was just a bolt that had worked its way loose - put it back in with some thread lock glue
got the rest of the top all cleaned out and tension mech free'd off and lubed up with some silicone spray, can't use oils and grease as all the dust just sticks to it and bungs it up
looks like new
