Well, we know where we would all be setting of for today, or at least loading up to travel for the weekend. Sickener that campsites can open in a few days, but that doesn't mean as we know them, and there was no choice making the decision. Let's be thankful for our family, friends, Bongos, and all ...

Very interesting post Karen and lots to think about there. It will be interesting to see what happens in terms of support for rural communities who need the return of visitors for their economic wellbeing but who need measures in place to control the risks that visitors bring. Hope you're keeping we...

Does any one know what the paint colour for the grey fibreglass in the AFT. Never have seen / heard what paint colour it is and it almost seems more like a pigmented gel coat than a paint. People seem to have redone it successfully using everything from ordinary vehicle spray paint to ( from memory...

As I see it the main problem is the campsite facilities. Toilet and shower blocks would have to remain closed. Or perhaps restricted to one-at-a-time followed by an immediate deep clean of all surfaces. What i find interesting about all this is that i can see the govt having to underwrite new job c...

Isolating the battery is only a good idea IF there is a parasitic drain on a temporary basis.?? I've tended to suggest it when a person is having trouble establishing if there is a parasitic drain and/or where its coming from. In that situation, getting a new battery and having it tell you there is...

My dad was a Lanc pilot and I was told many stories by his crew. Mike, my uncle was a tail gunner in a Lanc. He never really settled afterwards and ended up in NZ. We're lucky to only be asked to sit at home and wait out a virus. So true. I think my dad joined for the adventure but i suspect he dem...

Sump Plugs HE031040A have been discontinued.

Get a Pela pump But seriously, are they not a fairly generic/standard item?

You can drive anywhere in England for exercise or 'leisure purposes' there appears to be no legislative restrictions on how far you may travel, you are not supposed to stay elsewhere other than your home address overnight though. I will be using the Bongo again to go walking and cycling on my own o...

A crude workaround could be to disconnect a battery terminal when bongo not in use (or fit an isolating battery terminal as its then very quick to isolate the battery). Hopefully Geoff may give his thoughts on this (and best type of isolating terminal). My other question for Geoff and the techies is...

I do love the sound of a Spitfire engine! Someone should pop one in a Bongo, it would be a great 25th birthday present! I have been lucky enough to hear that sound very frequently as they were flying a two seater out of Biggin Hill several times a day for the last couple of years, usually out over ...

I wonder if they might allow camping in a bit as its already being flagged up in the media as a very 'social distancing friendly' way of taking a break. I can see Bongo values increasing

Know that spot very well from my teens when we used to walk those hills. Bl**dy cheek using image of a Bongo (or any vehicle that wasnt the one in question)

Done mine more than once, for failed pumps, and need to do it again for failed rear pump. I had to remove leisure but job still not so bad. Main hassle was making sure washer bottle didnt have small leak on reassembly as with everything wet it can be hard to be sure and its a pain discovering a week...

I'll take me cider into the garden, thanks.

You wont need a meteor shower to see stars if you do that Ben. Look out for the Great North Scrumpy, in the same part of the sky as the Cloudy Apple Way

You know my musical abilities, Bill.

The World's safer if I do DiY.

I do enjoy your work, though.

Never say never Ben....is my motto
