] Keep an eye on the fluid level, make sure I tightened everything up!
Just to report back on this-it works perfectly! I sanded down the tab until smooth and clean, then cleaned both the tab and window strip with contact cleaner. I then superglued the tab to the window, on a fresh part of the strip and then soldered around it-only in a couple of places as it was difficult to do. And it works perfectly! Well pleased [ORIGINAL: jwindwood Today, I soldered the heated rear window tab back to the element after knocking it off whilst fitting my hatch struts...

Thanks Peanut, I actually cleaned her today!! When they get all caked in crud they start to look a little old and decrepid, but when you clean them it reminds you of how darn good they still look compared to modern stuff! Off to Theale tomorrow (240 mile round trip), I often do 5-6 hours a day in her and whilst the driver's seat is a bit thin on padding in places, she is still a great place to be for long drives. This is me hanging out of the door when I was young and had no sense:ORIGINAL: peanutI hope you kept the Wessex in better order than you do your 44

Its funny Shawbury is the only RAF ATC that doesn't claim they are busy, should we want equipment off or to stand on the runway for a bit. Then you go outside and there are 20 aircraft within sight all moving. Others they say they are really busy and you get 2 movements in 4 hoursORIGINAL: Fat Albert Nice one Tony, I bet they have to be tip-top with the Air traffic school there! I spent 6 months stationed there in 88-89 and did around 120 hours on Wessex before I was kicked out.... Here is proof that it was cleaned yesterday!
Tony
Don't we need the photo to include a recent newspaper or something so that we can verify the true date?
]) Tony, Shawbury are also the most helpful to Light aircraft passing by too, I would guess it is because they want to instill some good behaviours in the studes Aircrew Lore states that there was a lovely sounding female Air Traffic Officer at Shawbury (who drove a skin-tight TR7) who one of the student pilots was chatting up and trying to arrange a meeting in the Mess bar over the radio on a quiet morning, when from the ether an anymous voice said (in a ghostly voice) "You'll be sorrrrrrrry!"

ORIGINAL: Hairyarse Thank Danni again for the cottage pie[
Cheers guys. Dani's very pleased that you enjoyed the food. She asked me to say that it was the least she could do because you guys were helping me so much. No fluid level drop and it's coping admirably well with the ice. It did try to scare me by snapping sideways on the way to work today though. The Volvo driver behind must have thought I was a hooligan!
Aren't you???[
] Someone was asking about sourcing clutch cylinders - can you help?
Ok, I believe you now, no newspaper needed. It even looks red! [ORIGINAL: Fat Albert Nice one Tony, I bet they have to be tip-top with the Air traffic school there!
