Tricky things these helicopter seats

Under orders from the management (Julie) I've had some time off electronics to finally fit the fold away seats in my Merlin helicopter.

I had been putting it off as they are very fiddly to install- being only 3/4 inch tall!

This is, of course, an Airfix 1:28 scale model! It is what my boys got me for my birthday nearly 2 years ago. I promised to do a really good job of it, so it is taking a long time. All the interior is now complete though, so it's back to larger parts which will be quicker. 

Another item of vintage RDF arrived today- a seafix 2000. Good working order, I've yet to take a peek inside to see what electronic architecture it uses. Instead, I've made a start on the first permanent PCB geiger counter. This will be done on a hand milled PCB, using my dremel tool.
