The bottom of the fuse at the back (about 1300mm)is covered with a sheet of ply attached to the bottom of the longerons. Was this section left uncovered? was the change in surface hidden somehow? I can't seem to find any photographic evidence one way or another except for one photo at the Canada air museum repro which shows a distinct height change from the side. The way the fuse is constructed would indicate that the side would be flat where the longerons(40mm)are and then neck in toward the bottom. But I would think that this change in angle would be noticeable in photos, and it is not. I'm sure if i construct my surface this way that I'll get a distinct highlight from some angles. Did they sand it out, disguise it somehow? or maybe the photographs of the time weren't sensative enough to pick it up? The top decking was plywood (or some kind of wood) was this then covered with fabrick? Or just sanded and sealed - extremly WELL sanded and sealed I can't detect woodgrain on any photos anywhere :-( TIA and happy holidays everybody Mark ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Dec 2002 09:33:50 -0600 From: Ken Schmitt To: Subject: Re: Solar Powered Rivers and other generators Message-ID: Our esteemed "Quiet Uncle" offers: > > Subject: sell supply Articles for daily use,Glue,Water colour paints,Modeling > Clay,Chalk,Ballpointfluorescence pen,Filing cabinet,File-keeper,Stapler,Paper > cutter,Pencil sharpener,Cutter knife,Students Stationery,Packing Tape > Dispenser well.

Message-ID: <000401c2a915$114d9660$376efea9@rochester.rr.com> Dave, Cheeze Whizz is a processed cheese, not even sure if it's real cheese or not, but you can spread it real easily. In much the same manner as Veggamite, it can double for driveway sealer if left out long enough. I'm trying to come up with modeling uses for it. Perhaps as a substitute for casting resin... cast my parts out of reduced cheese whizz. I'm not sure what the shelf life of the parts would be, but I'm sure the mice in the neighborhood would love me. Said with tongue firmly planted in cheek...

I do like to get a container of the stuff and then dip in "Pretzel Sticks". The end product is quite delicious. That combination goes good alone or with beer. (I keep my very own personal jar in the fridge. Properly marked by numerous pretzel crumbs.) Makes a neat ready to eat different snack. Lots of Cholesterol I'm sure. But what the heck everyone is complaining that the air is filled with dirt so I guess it really doesn't matter. Everything is bad for you now. To make it even worse they put flouride in your water, to help kids teeth but it makes old folks, like me get brittle bones. They sprinkle it on your lawn and garden and then tell you it won't hurt you at all. Apparently no matter how much you take in. So eat what-ever pleases you and tell the rest of the world to buzz off. To make it a bit OT I eat this combo while reading "The Hat in the Ring Gang" and other worthwhile books. They are to heavy to hold up very long and rest on a table while I stuff my face. Much better than Vegamite will ever be no matter how long it has been spoiled... Lee M.

It could easily have taken the place of Limes, avoided constipation as well as scurvy and in general made the life of all the British more worth living After trying some of the spicy food in India I believe a good round of picled Jalapenos would have brought the revolution to it's knees virtually over night.. A daily ration could perhaps have caused every Indian male to request a permanent commission as PFC in the Royal Army with all swearing, at least, allegiance nightly.
