June 16th - Markings Storage

While I was ordering some aluminium angle for my observatory construction, I added some galvanised steel sheet for the garage wall. This was collected on the 15th. When I get around to it, it will be hung on the wall and can store many of my magnetic Jeep markings.

When I first got the magnetic plastic, I read that it was better to keep it stored attached to a flat metal surface. I don't know if it looses magnetism if stored loose? Either way, it keeps them flat and out of the way when not needed. It's not big enough for everything, so the other RAF markings are still on Jessie from the Jubilee day.

Metal ( like many things ) is expensive these days, so 1.5 x 1 metres was a good compromise on storage verses price. If I need all the vehicles out without these markings, I can always stick some on the back as a temporary measure. With that in mind, I may try to mount it on hooks on the wall, so it can be lifted down to use both sides. My RAF roundels are looking quite faded now after four years and could do with the blue repainted in a darker shade.
