Still available, happy to accept offers around £150 -
I'm selling my Xmas Guitar Company MG-1 (https://reverb.com/uk/item/63551912-fox-mg-1-japanese-short-scale-mustang-w-onboard-amplifier-speaker), a rare and delightful Japanese-built offset / Mustang-shaped guitar. The MG-1 has a short scale length (so it's perfect for kids) and an onboard amp complete with a distortion and tremelo circuit. Included in the sale is a Fender stand, a guitar case, strap and original documentation. It's about 30 years old and could do with a set-up - the only missing element is one of the strap buttons (pictured). I'm looking for around £150. Based in Bellenden area - collect or deliver.

Thanks for all these updates and theories. It does look like a light bomber, with a wingspan that excedes the width of the double-fronted South Lodge. I like the fundraising idea, but it does look more Axis than Allied. Someone said Dornier Do 17, which would seem to fit quite well (wingspan c18m). So fundraising for what?

A random question for local historians out there. I was having a browse around the wonderful Aerial Photo Explorer: https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/archive/collections/aerial-photos/ and found this 1946 RAF shot of Dog Kennel Hill/Dulwich Hamlet etc: https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/archive/collections/aerial-photos/record/RAF_106G_UK_1356_V_5165 If you zoom in to Champion Hill at the top of the image, there is what appears to be a large aeroplane in the front garden of a house. The house no longer exists, but the location roughly corresponds with the Langford Green estate. Anyone have any insight as to what this might have been? A downed German bomber, perhaps?

Bit of a long shot, but if anyone has happened upon an (empty) white Apple Airpods case on or around the Goose Green area you would make a careless teenager very happy. J 07747 847 065 -
That is very, very mediocre.

Art Deco architecture in East Dulwich
preston_johns replied to edhistory's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Not art deco, but interesting none the less. It was a commercial building designed by the architect John Outram in 1987. Outram is still very much a maverick polemicist in the profession and has designed some truly remarkable buildings (look up The Judge Institute of Management Studies in Cambridge). It certainly wasn't one of his best, but it probably had more thought and passion put into it than a thousand other 'light industrial units' around the country. -
Sadly that wasn't us - ours was more of a birthday party kind of thing. But if any local bands want to club together to put on a proper night, we'd be well up for it.

Zonderlings sounds good. Our band has similar issues playing original tunes in SE London - there just aren't many places unless you're a 'name'. And you run out of willing friends quite quickly (we do, anyway). We ran our own night at the Old Nun's Head in Nunhead last summer and would be happy to try that again with some other like-minded bands. Also, we recently played the Miller in London Bridge, which is not far from ED at all.
