I'm selling my MOD Dwarf guitar effects pedal as I don't have enough time to make proper use of it. This great little device is quite hard to come by. It works as a standalone floor unit but can also be hooked up to a laptop or PC so you can built virtual pedalboards within it - there are huge numbers of effects and infinite options onboard. Have a look at the website to see the potential: https://mod.audio/dwarf/ I'm asking for £250 ono. Can demo if you want. Based just off Bellenden Road, SE15. Jon, 07747 847 065 -
This is a limited edition of the Honor Magic V Flip 2 folding smartphone (details here: https://www.gsmarena.com/honor_magic_v_flip_2_5g-14080.php). This edition, with colour and sparkly graphics by fashion designer Jimmy Choo, has 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage and a large 5,500mAh battery. It's being sold with all the packaging and accessories - a cable and case (and China only charger, but it takes a standard USB-C connection). Currently this phone is only available to buy in China. It is a fully unlocked Android smartphone which works perfectly on UK networks. £500 ono. Collection from near Bellenden Road. Jon, 07747 847 065 -
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.
