March Meeting - Some WW1 nostalgia and a broken loo....

Tony had been given a genuine set of 3D slides from the the trenches of WW1.  First priority was to repair the box which resembled a bound book and was looking very dog eared.  Now Tony needs to find a viewer.  Meanwhile Geoff's cistern was not working so the consequences could only be imagined....

These photos from the front do not spare any of the graphic details of the horrors of trench warfare
Tony's slide box requires book binding skills to repair
Richard uses PVA glue to rebind Tony's slide box while Geoff and Terry tackle the recalcitrant loo.
Charlie had replaced the mirror on his car so was dismantling the old unit to see if any of the gubbins inside could be salvaged for future projects....
Terry finds the problem - a broken flexible control cable between handle and water valve
The cable is shortened as it was too long anyway and Terry is 'Flushed with Success' as the repair works perfectly!
