If you need slim spanners I have some in SE23.
ETA - Can also lend you some MKS pedals while you sort stuff out with TPW.

I think that may've been Richard Ballantine in his book, Bicycle.

TBH Brompton rear triangles do have a reputation for rusting from the inside out. Other than internally applying Waxoyl or similar when the frame is new, I'm not sure what else you can do. Other than speccing Brompton's super light variant which features a Ti rear triangle.
ETA - Put it to @Rhobbs see what he says.

Google adsbexchange should give you the results you are looking for.
It did for me a couple of weeks ago when the Lanc was at the Eastbourne Air Show.
ETA - Once you've located the aircraft where it currently is, you will be able to trace where it has been.

It won't be similar.
The only other one which is airworthy lives in Canada.
Busy old day for that particular warbird today thobut.
A total of 8 appearances between Suffolk and Ayrshire during the course of today.

The corrosion on the chain stay bridge doesn't look confidence-inspiring. Hopefully, your comment re 'looking worse than it is' applies.

You should be able to do a bandsaw blade fold in them, and by doing so reduce their diameter to 10 or 12 inches.

No.

That particular aircraft is due to put in appearances at Machen, Teignmouth and Swansea Bay today.

I was struggling to believe that someone would actually do that. But a little googling shows it to be for real. FFS.

I'm using the same uncoated stainless frying pan from JLP that I've been using for the past 40 years.

Ver' good.

Nikwax do a 2 part proofer that you bung in the washing machine. It worked fine on a ski jacket I used to have.
ETA - Pipped to it by @tyeness ^

I've never had to do any maintenance on my 2spd.

Sweet.

Citroen Avant Cabriolet under the tarp?

Have you looked at Doughty Clamps? I happen to have one knocking around here. They're not cheap, but they're a fraction of those that you have linked to - I assumed at that price it'd be for a box of 10 or something.

Whereabouts are you?
Have you tried Chris Compton Cycles in Catford?

Sounds like the best outcome for all concerned.

Assuming you are in the UK, I think they need to be kept in the warm - like 18°C + at night time. More in the daytime. Giving it water to drink is unlikely to do it any harm.

I'm obvs missing something here. I see no hidden face.
ETA - got it.

But as they are from the world of photo equipment, they're imperial.

It's XO bikes. They re-cycle s/h and unclaimed bikes. Apparently, they are the Met's unclaimed bike re-cycler of choice. They are staffed by ex-offenders. It is probably a legit deal.
ETA - And, as you say, given some of the upgrades fitted, it looks like someone loved that bike at some point.
