    Picked up this little beauty the other day.
    A few hours on the bench getting a little clean up, new service kit, new mantle and she pumped up and purred beautifully.
    Very happy with it.
    Also can someone change my flag to Australia please?

    Nice X246 “pork pie”. It’s the long bail variation of the first production type, so probably made in 1946/47.

    On the flag:

    The flag is set automatically by the location of your the signal from your service provider. If, for example, you use a VPN, it will show where your VPN has routed your message; and sometimes even Australian-based service providers will route their traffic through Singapore or somewhere else under heavy traffic.

    I use iiNet and eduroam and they keep the flag Australian (but I’m now in Japan, hence the Japanese flag).

    You can opt out of the flag in your settings here at CPL.


    Cheers

    Tony
