I plan to sink some solid time into getting my IRDM Node-RED stuff working much better in the next few weeks. @ipgphotography has been a huge help getting me on the right path.

RAF Typhoon COBRA051 after prodding TARTAN39 has fuel probe stuck in the "out" position, RTB CGY to burn off 4 ton of fuel (I think he said)
NOT declaring an emergency (he sounds fed up, I bet he wanted to be out playing tonight).
I suggest thumping it with a hammer*

Two pieces of technology approximately the same age (1965).
Mamiya C33 Pro TLR and the inside of Vulcan B.2 XM594 from a visit to @NewarkAirMus on 11/4/2025.
Dev and scan in the next couple of days, here's a couple of digital images to be going on with.

Sunday breakfast listening.
@Marisa_Moths 2nd album in a fabulous translucent red marble.
Double signed #vinyl (payday treat to myself).
Liking side 2 & 4 the most (it's all good tbh but they stand out).
Looking forward to the 3rd album in May 👌

Back again. Several hellish wks @ work, 6 days per, in conjunction with tech issues where VHF/UHF reception fell to <30%
Crawled around attic chatting to spider fam, re-soldered connectors replaced a couple of cables & #ACARSDeco2 & #Dumpvdl2 & #Airband RX seems back to normal
