I seem to recall they were regular sites back in the early fifties. I was not far from you Howard - born and living in Muswell Hill.
A quick dirty wash Brian will soon have the level crossing looking even better.

I have some black wash Barry so will give it a go.

Had a flight in a Tiger Moth on Wednesday. Excellent.

What a memorable experience Brian, great photo.

[Walkingthedog]

It was Howard. Flew the aircraft for most of the flight.

That sounds fantastic Brian.
Wing-walking next year?

Wing-walking next year?

I can’t imagine how they do that.

Carefully

Must have been quite an experience Brian - how old was the aircraft?

[Walkingthedog]

Built in 1940. Not me the Tiger Moth.

Brilliant effort!

Godspeed to recovery LC&DR. For what it's not worth, my grandpartents lived into their late eighties, and swore on the use of wearing copper bracelets. Granddad was taking his daily strolls until very late in life, and never was troubled by arthritic fingers. I don't know if it was a placebo effect, but I know what I saw.

Another remedy not often discussed is the use of bee stings (yup) applied directly to the affected joints. Beekeepers have an unusually low rate of arthritis. Apparently, it is something in the venom that breaks down the arthritic process. Ice, as a numbing agent, is applied to the affected joint first.
As I advance in age, I'll be the first to let you know if it works!
