Your local pharmacy shoul have IPA in stock, but may want you to buy more than you need!
I used to use it to play vinyl on a posh record deck as it dries without leaving a residue.

Ron.

Don't whatever you do ask the local pharmacist for rubbing alcohol or IPA, you often get a 'huh?' in response.  Ask them for all the medical disinfectant they have and go from there.

Medical knowledge has obviously been replaced with label/product knowledge as selling guff other than medical wares has become the priority.

Hmm. A shark skin glider would be cool. :-*

Surely you would still want normal surfaces on the underside of the wings so that the drag helps create the high pressure for the lift.

and the quoted range of 280 miles from a single charge ..... is these from the same kind of people that try to tell us that model X does 130 mpg when in fact it's lucky to achieve 30 mpg in real world driving?

mpg?  From an electric car?  ???

Interesting read about tests being conducted with mako shark skin to reduce flow separation.

Also, the fastest car is now a milk float. :D

Get yourself a pickup and fit a truck horn.  Fewer people do this kind of shit and those who get a blast of 150 decibels often carp themselves ;D

Get a blue badge to deal with the council ones :-X

Difficult these days even if you have a disability.  My condition is covered by the disability act but as I can walk 200m unaided I dont qualify for a blue badge.  Admittedly I dont need it all the time, just when I need to rush to the bathroom without worrying about getting a ticket.

I’m sure you’re aware but you need to keep an eye on the situation.

Regularly.  No change to my local authority qualification criteria, yet.

Misfire?  Is there any blue/grey smoke that accompanies the rattle on startup?

Good outcome!
Do you feel about 6" taller than before you got that postal confirmation. I know I would!

He'd better be on the lookoout for low flying aircraft at this rate. ;D

I thought I saw a NOTAM for the Farnborough area ::)
