Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
Speaking of rockets, we had Estes rockets with cartridge fuels. Have some still here... somewhere, from when the boys were growing up. Before the rockets, we made our own things that went bang. Saltpeter, sulf.... hmmm, let's leave it there... and a 240v extension lead was all we needed.... plus a jar to contain the mix. Lots of bangs. We also made things that stopped the bangs. One of the guys built his in metalwork at school.... "muffler for the Victa, Sir". Same guy built a single-shot .22 pocket-sized piece.
Different times. One of the guys brought 7 sticks of jelly in one day and we had some fun with that down the bush, after school. As kids did, back then.Comment

“It’s risky”, said experience.
“It’s pointless”, said reason.
“Give it a try”, whispered the heart.

'Twas indeed a most musical festival. As it should be!
That's the one, Greg!
Those of you who missed the festival may be pleased to know that no Morris dancers were there. Those of us who did attend were relieved ..... nay, rapt!

I'm sad that I was mizzen the whole thing; canons and all.Last edited by Duncan Gibbs; 02-17-2017, 06:20 PM.Jarndyce and Jarndyce
