    Start of the GOLD silly season

    "Mr Mead and his mechanic Todd Chamberlain were filming the operation because they feared they might find weapons and wanted to be able to prove where it came from in case any awkward questions were asked." But strangely there don't seem to be any pictures of the gold.

     

    I'm obviously not the only one to think the Daily Mail took ten days to publish the story ...

    Corroded electrical joints

    It reminds me of the black rubbery resin that gets used to cover integrated circuits applied directly onto circuit boards (the black dot in cheap digital watches and calculators). That's called "potting compound".

     

    This stuff is flexible, so I wonder if it's actually any different from Liquid Latex, which is readily available in a number of colours.

    FH 70 operation tips and tricks

    in Artillery & Anti-Tank Weapons

    Hi John, I think you are right about the welds - I will have another go at some point. It's on my FAC for blank firing and display purposes. I'm interested in how it all works, but I'm finding it fairly complicated though! The engine works and the hydraulics do something sometimes! Any tips are greatly received. I can't get the traverse or elevation to work as yet.

     

    Be VERY careful. Even if you have an FAC for it, reactivating a deactivated weapon is an offence. Have a chat with your local firearms officer before going any further.
