Looks delicious, right up my alley. But, to be a crepe or crepe-like, it would need flour. Just being a stickler...

Interesting. I remember one or two of my fellow club members ordering large sub assemblies that they needed for a restoration.

I was a Morgan owner for years, starting in the late 60s, and I've never heard that it was ever sold as a kit, neither here nor in the U.K. During that time I was very active in the Morgan Plus Four club and no one there ever mentioned a kit. The Wikipedia site for Morgan does not mention a kit. Do you have any proof of the availability of kits?

Since there is so much craftsmanship involved in making the Morgan, that adds further doubt, I just don't see them trusting an individual to complete the work.

Maybe you are confusing the kit idea with the fact that for many years you could not purchase them directly from Morgan (in the USA) and you had to purchase them through a company in San Francisco that adapted them to USA requirements for exhaust, safety, etc. Or, perhaps you are mixing up kits with the purchase of significant replacement sub assemblies that people would get to do a restoration.

I believe the wood is ash. I know it used to be. I partially restored a '57 model and had to find ash to rebuild the door.

Having been a Morgan aficionado, owner (2 roadsters, a 4 seater and a drophead), Morgan Plus Four Club member, and having visited Morgan Works (and meeting Peter Morgan) in Malvern many decades ago, this brought back some great memories.

Thanks!

My recollection from the works visit in 1972 is that it took longer than the 3 weeks mentioned in the video to make a Morgan. Again, a recollection from years ago, is that it took around 7 weeks. There were 7 buildings comprising the works, each building corresponding to a stage in the production and each building housing up to 10 or so cars in that stage of production. Each car would spend a week in its current building and then all cars would be moved over the weekend to the next building (and production stage). And, 10 cars would be ready for delivery every week.

I was particularly struck by how they formed the rear fender frame. Essentially identical to how a cooper bends a barrel stave, but with a more radical curve, the wood for the fender was heated with steam to bend it to shape.

Morgans have been made the same way since the 1910's and 20's. Originally, Morgans were three wheelers, with two wheels in front. At the time of its introduction, Great Britain had a hefty tax on automobiles, defined in the law as having 4 wheels. By building three wheelers, the tax was avoided.

A striking portrait! Well done.

Speaking as a long-term worker in AI, having done my PhD dissertation in AI in 1975, I disagree strongly. AI is a broad topic and includes many capabilities in addition to learning. Learning may or may not be part of an AI project.

Here are some other capabilities that AI developers strive for: problem solving, vision, speech, locomotion. We can have AI applications in any of these areas that may or may not involve learning, but would be considered AI in either case.

I don't understand.

Digital photography is digital because each photo is a collection of pixels, discrete points.

Film photography is analog, everything changes along a continuity. Perhaps at the quantum level we could say it too was digital, but I don't think we can be aware of quantum effects in film photography. In any case, at the quantum level, everything is digital (why it's called "quantum").

Thanks to you now I've found out a lot too!

The you tube video you linked was extreme useful and tied a whole bunch of stuff together for me.

I can't thank you enough!

I also have the Mini 2, after starting with the original Mini (or Mini1). My son has the Mavic. Other than price, already mentioned, and the Mini 2's weight which allows it to be unregistered, the other important difference which is one where the Mavic beats the Mini is on downward and upward automatic collision detection/evasion. The Mavic will avoid obstacles below and above, but with the Mini it's up to the operator.

Thanks! Looking forward to see what else you find.

Thank you for the advice. I'll certainly take it into consideration. Your positive experience may be enough to offset all of my negative experiences with a large variety of government beauraucrats.

Thank you for the offer.

The airport is Wings Field in or near Blue Bell, PA.

My DJI Fly app shows on its map that I am in an 'Enhanced warning zone' but not in the 'Authorization zone'. On the map, the latter looks like the flight path for take off and landing. The app also seems to imply that flying in the former, the warning zone, is permitted, whereas it's not permitted without authorization in the 'Authorization zone.'

It's nice to see a couple of experts in this discussion. I have a question for which I have not been able to get an answer.

I live close to an uncontrolled airport but LAANC is not available outside controlled airspace. If it was a controlled airport I would be able to use LAANC to get authorization to fly, typically below 100 feet. What do I do in my case, or can I fly my drone without getting any pre-authorization as long as I stay bellow 100 feet ?

Having taken cruises with Vantage, Viking, A&K and National Geographic to many different locations, National Geographic comes in first by a humongous margin. Rate them a 10. I've taken three cruises with them and they always have a professional photographer (at least one, and once 3), professional naturalists, etc., on board and they interact with you every day. A&K doesn't do a bad job, but by comparison to National Geographic, I would rate them a 6. Viking earns a 4, they really fell down on the organization of ashore activities and on-board health management. Vantage gets a zero because they completely screwed up our land arrangements, and refused to do anything about it after the fact other than a $200 credit for a future booking.

At present, I have two more trips booked with National Geographic. One to Swalbard and Norway and the other to New Zealand. Hope they don't get cancelled! My booking to Alaska with National Geographic got cancelled due to Covid and I will rebook that at some time.
