Today is International Women in Engineering Day #Inwed19
INWED campaigns to raise the profile of women in #engineering and focuses attention on the amazing career opportunities available to girls in this exciting industry.
Some of the greatest #modelengineers are women too.
The dust settles as the #Doncaster #NMMEX has finished.
The Duke of Edinburgh Trophy was won by George Punter for his tractor which previously won a #gold #medal at #Brooklands #MEX. Best in show was Mike Sayer's Bentley Blower.

I was at the Doncaster Show yesterday, back again tomorrow. A huge range of excellent models on show and plenty of trade stands piled with goodies and grown-up's toys. 🤡

Sneak preview of MEW 278! Old meets new on the cover which feature's Joseph Noci's computer controlled Alba 2A. It's worth reading the article just to see the incredible high standard to which the work on this machine has been done.

Here's a sneak preview of the cover for MEW 177. That's a rather nice stepped bell chuck by Brett Meacle, part of a short series featuring some interesting variations on the theme of stepped chucks. Plus other great practical projects.

It must be #Halloween because I saw a #Vampire today! I was at Brandon Marsh near Coventry when I heard a #jet making an odd whistling sound approaching. I though that sounds like an old one... long nose so a two-seat trainer version. #aircraft #planespotting
