They where pretty much just prototype.

There were several proptotypes, certainly, but this one (MD-160) was commissioned into the Soviet Navy and based at Kaspiysk on the Caspian.
AFAIK, it was the only one to be commissioned.

This design, with its high take off weight and small wings, had a max cruse altitude of 3m - not exactly an ocean going design.

How do they unload onto the beach and then turn around and take off again?

Out with the jcb doing some scrapes today.

TAB boom in constant use as always. So handy to shrink it down to get a good clean pullback to the blade under the bracken rhizome. Then lift it up for placing it uphill on top of a bank and profiling.

Got a man coming out this afternoon to regas the aircon- hopefully that’s all it needs at ten years old and 500 hours.

Is it me. Does it look a bit ridiculous loading that size dumper with the long reach!

was thinking he'd be better off having it side on with that bucket - might keep more in the skip - or even reversed onto him - got enough reach to stretch over the thing

From what I've been reading/been told, there are concerns these days that NHL actually ends up far harder than advertised! It's often hard to discern between an NHL 3.5 mix and an OPC mix after a few years other than colour, would you agree?

The hotmix stuff I'm using is a few months old, it's beautiful to use. Never tried a putty mix. It seems to be the consensus that mature putty mixes were reserved for fine plaster etc, and mortar would have been hot mixed on site with quicklime- which makes sense. However, we now have plastic bags and tubs to seal it in for future use, which of course makes bulkmanufacture for later use an option (and a very convenient one at that)

I'd like a forced mixer just to play with mixes, but with the lime and flint specialists of the UK three miles from me there's not much point.

Missed this

Very much depends on which manufacturers nhl it is all seem to have varying strength

In the line geeks world they are quite against it but certain manufacturers produce consistent product like st Asteir and Buxton
