    I would like the crash helmet. My daughter lives in Vietnam and is getting her first motorbike. I’m worried that the helmets here are not up to snuff and the one helmet I ordered from China cracked when she dropped it. It’s the perfect colour and perfect size for her and I would be honoured to take it off your hands.

      Shmuel Yosef that was funny in the special. Didn’t work in the rain. My daughter was one of the first kids in Vietnam to wear a helmet. You couldn’t even get kids sizes back then. Now the police are cracking down, you must wear a helmet and way to much Chinese fakes on the market. They are about as effective as wearing a colander.

    My girlfriend would love the helmet. We've met a few weeks back and she really wants me to take her for a ride on my Ninja 650. I've been saving up for a proper helmet ever since the first date. But it's hard saving up while being a student here. The helmet would actually be perfect for her since she is kinda clumsy (I hope she'll never read this). She once left the kid she babysitting for in a bicycle seat for over half an hour because she couldn't undo the straps, so a helmet without straps would be perfect. Plus the red goes perfect with the red accents on my bike.

    Bike is fixed and ready for season... only thing that is missing is a red helmet with James May's autograph on it!

Sleep, take a warm heat bag and put it on your belly to speed up your digestion. Don't panic, panic drains your energy and weakens your body (You'll make it easier for the virus). As long as you're careful and as long as you gather a little bit of knowledge about viruses in general you won't get it, and if you do, chances are high that it won't kill you if you know what to do.

    That B-58 model would look great at work sitting beside our J79 turbojet in the training area of our jet turbine repair and overhaul centre.

Later in the 70's as you know with the advent of early military computers these tasks were able to be done with two personel. In any case, I want you to know that I have loved Top Gear, the Grand Tour and now Drive tribe, hoping more seasons of the Grand Tour are in the works. Much love and admiration

    I would love the B-58 hustler kit as 2 years ago I got into making model kits and have always wanted one of the old ones. However as it is so old I probably will not end up making it and just leave it as it is. interesting fact: Convair built only 116 B-58's, 30 test aircraft and 86 that were operational; The B-58 is also much, much older than me.

    Hi James,
    Amazed to see the B-58 Hustler on show. You are right it is an interesting aircraft and as a kid I made kits like these and read lots about the planes. I remember being fascinated with the B-58 due to the capsule ejection system. As the soviets surface-to-air missiles developed the speed (B-58 was the first Mach-2 bomber) was not enough so it had to fly low which increased the wind shear. This meant traditional ejection was going to work so they developed the capsule ejection, although if you had large feet these pods were difficult to eject. I’m not sure what interesting facts you would like on this plane, we can all list a stream of technical information including the trophies it won, I believe the reason it is so difficult to give a fact is the plane did 10 years arrive to the US airforce and didn’t see combat once - this in itself is an interesting fact to me. Anyway if there is no one else I would gladly take this off your hands and treasure it. Many thanks (apologies about the length)

He designed the parts to make the parts of the airplane, he also set up computer servers for Boeing in the late 80s. He also has a small collection of model airplanes, model cars and loves doing puzzles, so I would like to have that airplane to gift to him for his birthday!
