Brief encounter for Paul and Antony at Carnforth

Post by Paul Wills »

Hi All,

I have just been sent a link to this footage of Paul and Antony at the 1940's weekend at Carnforth!

For those that don't know, Carnforth is where Michael Lean filmed Brief Encounter

Hi Paul,

Sorry I missed you on Sunday.

Great video :D :D It was great fun driving around on a lovely smooooooooth surface. There were a few scratches on the tarmac after the 360 turns but they'll soon wear away :wink:

See you in 2 weeks.

Hello Sven.
Yes you did see the M.G. moving when firing...its an easy mod to do with a servo on a spare channel or indeed the first time i did it on my Mid Tiger i plugged the servo into the S.R. box that i bought from Vince Abbot,{now that is a while ago} this was used to drive the animatronic men the same sort of thing as a Wizard board.
Looking forward to seeing you on our trip :lol: .
Kind regards Paul. M. :wink:
