@stephen37292ML A well-deserved nomination Stephen. Your posts here do much to highlight the oft unseen commitment and teamwork required to keep the rail network moving safely.

@stephen37292ML Hi Stephen, thanks to your video I could see that the plug-in is from "On Track Simulation", not to be confused with Pete Waterman's "Making Tracks" layout 🤪 To help others, plug-in details and purchase info at https://t.co/dKRsZfSSSU

@BBeanRC @davepl1968 Looks like Mike Collins with the Apollo 11 Eagle patch below.

@stephen37292ML If I recall correctly, Dave and Norman Ross opened a south Glasgow shop in the early 1980s selling (legal) citizen band radio. Was it called Ro-mar? I spent what seemed like a small fortune with them on behalf of friends and family.

@stephen37292ML Happy Birthday Stephen

@stephen37292ML I'd religiously listened to Dave's breakfast programme and enjoy the 'patter' between him and the late Captain George Muir. Incidentally, the AM signal was broadcast by the trio of recently demolished masts at Cathkin Braes.

@couldasaid @CalumRaasay It has been a while since I've been there but I think it is the first bridge over Inverarish Burn on the Burma Road, up by the old mine workings.

@JenKteach The impressive Sir Robert Watson-Watt statue that was unveiled in is home town of Brechin back in 2014. https://t.co/UbD6rdLbMe

@mrdoornbos And for that authentic experience, exchange our messages as 5-character hand-keyed Morse groups via HF radio 😊

@mrdoornbos I second that! The Engima Touch is a lovingly crafted software emulation of the various Engima machine variants wrapped in simple but beautiful engineered hardware.

@stephen37292ML Mark Knopfler honours this period in his song "Border Reiver" https://t.co/BRmBGb5hMY

@HbHs0 Brings back memories of many happy listening hours with my JRC 525 and laterly 535 receiver. Outstanding performance back in the day.

@jimmerfaestoney @CalumRaasay Looks like it is on the way up to the New Cemetery, looking south east.

@Birdseed501 @clark_aviation I was fortunate enough to visit the impressive collection a couple of times. It was sad to witness the slow decline after the 1981 auction but at least the majority of the aircraft were saved and remain in the UK. Comet XK655 and Shackleton VP293 in 1983.

@mechlandscape @RAF_Luton Err, are you sure that not a pic from the overhead arrestor wire experiments? Being above crew eyeline meant that Concorde didn't have to ungraciously droop her snoot on approach though it did require prompt retraction of the gear in the event of a go-around

@CalumRaasay Indeed, even more than just airfields and seaplane bases. Underground/overground (Wombling-free) tank farms, Chain Home radar sites, and even a Y-station.
