Some suburbs may never be inhabited again. I was hoping for a few more guesses on the plant stand but will tell you what it is... it's a sleeve valve - formerly inside a Bristol Hercules engine, the kind the powers the Bristol Freighter... or Bristol Frightener as it was affectionately known. 49,999 rivets flying in formation :) My hubby plans to have it chromed eventually, I think it looks ok as a plant stand as it. When he finally noticed that bil had taken up residence he was a little taken aback, not quite what he had in mind for Sammy the sleeve valve. I'm going to post that pic on the aviation forum & see what reaction I get. |
