PCPro came up with some different answers. But this was testing for AV+malware protection which can be different from just AV. Nothing to read at the PCPro website at the moment but from the magazine Avast was the best free AV - better than some of the paid software. Not sure how one interprets any ...

Looking at this set me thinking that I seem to recall seeing a Belfast parked at RR Hucknall sometime in the 70's or80's.

I have XR370 and XR371 logged at Hucknall on 1st October 1978.

Be reassured your mental facilities in full working order.

Deja vu. Number 37 Routemaster used to run 1/2 mile from where I lived as a youngster but not as new as that model (E reg=1967). Think 37 route still exists but not as a Routemaster. Don't think I ever caught it since it was quicker to walk the mile to Hounslow Bus Station (the destination on that m...

And don't forget there was also 33L/15R once upon a time before they built on it. I did see some landings on that in the 60s.

Probably too late to be of any use now, but it is possible to "slipstream" the Service Packs into the original XP. That way you create a version that includes SP3 and you then install that. Still a fair number of updates after that but a more recent starting point. Not sure if that can be ...
