A DAY AT LINCOLN

We started our UK bus coverage again today with a trip to Lincoln. A minor hiccup was that the memory stock had some file or another on it and the reading overstated what had been recorded, that said it came out at 50 minutes a little shorter than normal so I'll try and make up for the tomorrow when we intend to go down to Worcester to film subject to another look at the weather. More cine films received today, lots from the old Pan Am collection which I guess must have been from their UK office but covers a wide range. Eventually we'll be releasing all the material we have accumulated in themed DVDs ie aircraft, France, UK manufacturing, Old lorries etc etc. There will be lots to come perhaps in the autumn.

We are going to start decorating the house soon and probably go and get some colour samples on Sunday. We are starting with the easy bits upstairs then the first big challenge to my back and knee with the hall stairs and landing. Then will be the lounge and dining room which will also be re-carpeted and finally the PMP office which will be a nightmare. The drive over to Lincoln is great with the new road through Nottingham finished and I'm looking forward to filming the Nottingham tram extensions soon.

The Ukraine tour is now confirmed as being late August we are working on a programme for that. Not that much in the post today but large orders on the net and by phone it really varies day to day but certainly for 2016 we are looking at the rally scene in light of its comparative small returns compared to internet, post etc and will only book a couple a month maximum concentrating on those we like best. The Dublin rally is at the beginning of Oct, not sure what we'll do perhaps go in the car with a smaller stock, sales were really pathetic last year and it would not be viable to take the PMP van again, still not sure on Cultra although we like NI and it would give us a chance to film whilst we are there. Some shots from Lincoln today, the DVD will be ready later this evening. Also going to resume work listing the Super8 cine on EBay and clips on Youtube. On the way back had a bird strike on the card and it cracked the wing mirror indicator perspex so another job taking it in to get fixed / ordered. PC Coaches had a motley collection of buses in service!
