Paging @g7kna.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Leaving aside the propagation on Saturday and Sunday morning the #AirfieldsOnTheAir Special Event was a good event Shout out to: Saturday: Mark #M0SKV, David #M7GVY, @bigbernie.bsky.social and @g7kna.co.uk Sunday: @bigbernie.bsky.social @g7kna.co.uk Kenneth #M7MYU David #M7GVY and Uskmouth ARS

Right you lot, I'm about to turn all the tech off and spend some time with @racheljs.bsky.social who I haven't seen since Friday. This, a tribute to my dear friend Geordie who was a better guitarist than I could ever hope to be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ztd...

You can't kill a squadron!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBpj...

Airfields On The Air today, with my club @sbarc.co.uk at the former RAF Westonzoyland in Somerset. And without realising it, we ended up on this frequency. @rafluton.bsky.social to note. Photo taken from a Meteor, just for a change.

Amateur Radio chums, it's Airfields On The Air this weekend and my fine chum @captain-mushroom.bsky.social is still the only registered Welsh station participating. It's the first time the former RAF Carew Cheriton has been activated, so expect there to be a bit of a pile-up if you try to work him!

Bloomin' insomnia can do one. So I'm listening to one of the two great guitar inspirations in my life (the other is at the opposite end of the scale, very electric and very loud) and it is my delight to share with you Mr Davey Sharp. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcK1...

It's been ten years since I last travelled by @gwr.com and in that time it's refreshing to see that in a mad world, some things haven't changed. 19:48 Paddington to Bristol Parkway, five cars vice 10, and folks crammed right in. Back to #FlixBus next time. And I flagged the coach for this "comfort"

Radio chums who are much more knowledgeable than I on such matters, I seek your help. I'm at #TheNationalArchives and have a document relating to Orfordness Rotating Beacon. Does this sound like an early version of radar to you?

Final day of three at #TheNationalArchives today. So far days one and two have been about WW1 and our time in Independent Force. Today we move post war, to the 1920s and investigations into a possible link with the development of radar in the late 1920s.

#AmateurRadio #HamR chums, MW6HED is going to activate the former RAF Carew Cheriton for #AirfieldsOnTheAir #AoTA this year. It's the first time the former airfield has been activated, and the first in Wales for the 2026 event. Please can we get some reposts - thanks!!

Me, when someone mentions gin

Amateur radio chums, I'd be grateful for a repost of the below, my club's traditional SES season opener.

Fulfilling my @charlieconnelly.bsky.social fanboy role, here's his latest newsletter. In my defence, anything involving pickled eggs is worthy of a repost. @g7kna.co.uk to note 👍😊

Paging @g7kna.co.uk @racheljs.bsky.social has just successfully challenged a verbal inexactitude levelled at her by a colleague concerning the veracity of her work. And how did she do this? Why, with a spreadsheet!! I felt you should know 👍😀🤣🤣

Whilst I am on the subject of rugby, and before I get too squiffy to post, can I doff my cap in the direction of the Scots. They're my second team, my family have Scottish heritage. Fighting Celts us lot, innit. My second team, they've had an awesome campaign too 👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Okay, last one, I promise!! youtu.be/ejxyhtx20sY?...

1/4 I've just sent my Dad this message. "Pros for me were that we played with confidence and flair, and we reacted well to the sin binning. We played attacking rugby too for the most part. We scored early after the interval.

Blimey, it's not the points we're racking up, but the confidence we're showing. I've not seen Wales play with this much confidence and flair for a very long time. Our scrum is phenomenal, our centres have shit down the Italians, and we're running the ball beautifully. C'mon Cymru!!

1/2 Bluesky chums, particularly the IT geeky ones, I need your help. I have a number of military history databases on CDs or DVD ROMs which are protected with Securom, and require the disc to be in my optical drive to run.

I've casually popped this on my desk at work in the hope I can drum up some interest in #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #HamR 👍😊

What sort of legal measures might be invoked against me if I get seriously stabby with some the utter fuck nuggets I work with? Asking for a friend.

Tonight's bout of insomnia has led to this reminder of the cause of so much retinal burning in my teenage years.

Premier Inn Weymouth tonight and tomorrow,and just to add an extra level of misery while I'm away from home (and thus my modelling bench, research, and The Phantom) I've had to resort to drugs. And not the good kind 🙄🤣🤣

Also, in all the excitement,I forgot to tell you all that The Phantom is finally back with me after 7 months in the workshop. There's 7 months of workshop grime and filth on every surface. As soon as I can get her clean, I'll be back out operating /P again 👍😁

@bakeliteguy.bsky.social Thanks for the follow 👍😊🙏

I'm doing all the history this weekend. I've swung by Bosworth Field on my way back to South Wales. I definitely need to return for a full visit. @rfcider.bsky.social and @karenclifford.bsky.social we should meet up here!!

#StatBusAtNight yesterday at the fabulous #StatfoldBarnRailway with my fine chum @sakura-densha.bsky.social "Issac" was working the steam service, and there was a fine selection of buses from far and wide

www.facebook.com/share/r/1EnD... Just sayin'

There are precious few benefits to an early finish when you're working away from home (and this the model bench) but ITV4's programming is one of them

Narrow gauge is a niche world. I'm turbocharging that niche tonight with this book. While running in Penrhyn Mainline Hunslett "Charles" on the rolling road, complete with firebox glow. You're very welcome 👍😊

I can't do you a full size rocket, but I do have an unmade kit of a Saturn V rocket in my kit stash. I'd like to build it, but have no room for the finished item. I'm sure it would look splendid in your lounge though 👍🤣🤣

Do we think this might be a tad adventurous Bkuesky chums?

Thought I'd have a bash at this. I had no hope with a question on rap music!! 🧠 Quiz of the Day - Feb 15 🟩 🟩 🟩 🟩 🟩 ⬜ 🟩 🟩 ⬜ 🟩 Score: 8/10 Think you can do better? quizoftheday.co.uk

@charlieconnelly.bsky.social I'm coming to see you in Monmouth!! @racheljs.bsky.social is coming too, and I think @g7kna.co.uk and perhaps even @nightqueen.co.uk . In the meantime, I'm reading this so I'm up to speed on the book. I've been fascinated by the Shipping Forecast for 45+ years!!

The War Department Light Railway fleet is slowly starting to grow

Exactly 50 years ago today I sat wide-eyed in the school hall watching the very first commercial flight of Concorde take off from Heathrow for Bahrain. Today I have been to #AerospaceBristol to see G-BOAF, "Old Foxy" as we know her, and to reflect on half a century and more of aviation memories.

Many thanks to my fine friends @g7kna.co.uk and @nightqueen.co.uk for my fabulous calendar!! And what better locomotive to open the year with the Battle of Britain class "257 Squadron" 👍😀😀

Christmas has officially begun at Casa BUF

The girls in the office bought me this fabulous keyring for Christmas and a hat with a light in it

Not been around much recently due to work shenanigans. Just came across this in my photos folder though while drinking tea. @sakura-densha.bsky.social will identify I'm sure 👍🙂

Stevenage, 05:13z. That is all.
