shags_j Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That looked like a gorgeous paint job. You never get to see paint jobs like that much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanR Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have flown that one a bit - shame. Certainly got looks with the artwork ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Even less interesting since Watto left. Far too cold for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watto Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That cold weather is partly why I left, seemed to rain 300 days a year! I was a house painter back then and it took a great deal of planning to work jobs around the climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Does anyone know the cause? Yeah, would be interesting to know... Mirror, Magnifying glass in the sun!!?? For it to be electrical, something would have to be left on, Hey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watto Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 May have left master on? or somebody may have wired something outside the master circuit which should not be done but as with everything it can happen. Or even a pair of eye glasses in the right spot could act as a heat source in certain conditions. The southern highlands although a cold place gets people unprepared as you get freaky very hot days and it can catch you out with your practices. Or a good old fashion wire rub through! I am sure it will be revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
