Guys, lifted this from WRF, good to know these steadfast people are as bent as a 9 bob note! When will people learn not to trust the people calling the shots. Just like politics really? https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/discussions/ron-weinand-820698/

Guys, been very distracted by our spiral into despair here in Germany due to the gas situation. I have been busy trying to shift my reliance on gas to having a back up in the form of a couple to three wood burners. I have all the required products now and am waiting for my workmates to set a date to start rebuilding the existing chimneys and cleaning one out. Luckily they are qualified builders and recon its a days work! Being ever the pessimist I will plan for 3 days to cover any unforeseen issues. To give you an idea of what is going on over here right now, my pal paid €3200 last year for his annual heating oil refill, this year he paid in excess of €9000. This is quite simply not sustainable for every household in Germany and will be pushing us into an economic collapse. The knock on of which may take down the EU in its current format. Just my opinion but I think we are being fool hardy getting involved in another US proxy war, what could go wrong with that?

I am never far from a Guinness.

@Afrikakorpsrat64 cheers!

This is a very rare and sealed arsenal crate dated 1913 INCLUDING 13 boxes of original sealed .45 ACP. Still sealed in original factory boxes just as they left the arsenal. Crate is in great condition lettering still sharp and visible and structurally wood is sound. Very clean overall. ammo boxes are sealed and still have their original canvas pull tabs. NO box has been opened. Everything is sealed.

Just arrived, got this High Voltage Regulator from a well known aviation historian and author of books about the same. Used in the passenger compartment of Mosquito Mk6, G-AGGF used by BOAC on the "Bearing Run" to Sweden during WW2, carried a single passenger in the converted bomb bay, and from what I'm told, used to change from Light, to Oxygen to Heat by the passenger in the tiny space....... Unfortunately this aircraft crashed on 17th August 1943 after getting lost over Glen Esk in Scotland. Killing both crew...Captain Wilkins and RO Beaumont... Lots of info on the web about it... https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/18796 The photo of the aircraft getting ready to take off, is supposed to be the night of the terrible crash....their is obvious fire damage to the regulator...:(
