  1. IMPS and MVT are not Historical re-enactment groups under the VCR.If you have a blank firing device, that does not get covered by VCR regardless of shape. If you want a de-ac that is not covered by VCR, if you want a plastic toy cap gun that looks realistic! Then it either has to be couloured like a phycotic chamelion or you have to be exempted VCR! So carve it out of wood? No, that is covered by VCR. Get an air weapon? There are a lot of copies of WW2 guns that are air guns! And you DON'T need a VCR exemption. Don't feel happy spreading lead about the countryside? So get a nice little airsoft BB gun! You can use enviromentally clay pellets that melt away and won't kill the local wildlife! Guess what? You can get one that is the chamelon offshoot and shoot at things like bus drivers, but if it is properly coloured, VCR! If you can work out the point of the whole *** mess. Run for Parliment!
  2. I had to replace all the brakes on my WC54 every cylinder had just rotted away to black gunge. I was in much trepidation about the brake lines. Fortunatley! Somewhere in her history all the metal lines had been replaced with Cupro Nickel. Despite obvious age it all came apart and went back together perfectly. Flexi hose were a diffrent matter though.
  3. I find a large caliber brick a great comfort at such times.
  4. Chaplins gave all as well.
  5. one of the joys of transparent fuel line, you can see the muck! I too have had rubber line collapse internally, fine when everything was still, or idle, but as soon as power was applied the pipe sucked in and starved the fuel. By the by, have you checked the actual pick up pipes inside the tanks?
  6. Be intresting to see what comments I get about stars then. As I've not got any on Katy! The other joy is when after hours of preperation and care some total pillock walks up to your Land Rover and says 'Nice Jeep!'. (Shouldn't be allowed to breed!)
  7. Um, isnt that a Walther P38 and German holster? The Catholic church was known for allowing it's Chaplins into the front line. Other denominations tended to prefer thier members to be further back.
  8. Yeah but the important things! Can you start it, drive it, and stop it when you want to?
  9. Welcome in! Where abouts are you based?
  10. Silage, and damp partially fermented Rye were used to make bread rise if yeast wasn't available. The Rye has a potential problem, Ergot. This a fungus, that produces a natural form of L.S.D.
  11. Actualy the German's banned the production of potato flour in Jersey . It takes rougly seven pounds of potatoe to produce half a pound of flour, so a lot of calorific value is lost.
  12. As most of the common grains, and legumes seem to have been covered. I wonder if it is production of an Ersatz product. Such as Acorns for Coffee, maybe Soya? Those cell pictures do look like a drying grain cell though, Wheat?
  13. A right flyer! It's not crushing Conckers to produce acetone for explosive? http://www.h2g2.com/approved_entry/A6958812
  14. The other grain by product that come s bleached is Bran, so is it an army biscuit mill? Trouble with the period is that milling equipment hasn't changed much. The belt drives suggest at least Victorian but any where up to WW1.
  15. How about that other army standby, Porridge oats?
  16. Do you know who owns the little Mercury? I only know of one other.
  17. It is a very elborate button stick. The upward angle stands the button away from the cloth so there is no chance of staining the jacket. The only type I've seen like that though was civillian, used for the buttons on a Master of Foxhounds coat. Depending on length you should get three buttons on at one time.
  18. I've just checked my licence, it is marked C1+E then two codes, 01, which is standard 'Must have eye corection' and 107. So to the .Gov site to check . Code 107 states 'VEHICLE not to exceed 8250 kgs', no mention of any restriction on a trailers! So that gives with a 3.500 kg trailer, 11750kg total. Roughly the unladen weight of a Double Decker bus.
  19. Can anyone identify a trademark that is a z with a bar across inside two cirlips? There is also a name, either favocu, or a stylised note followed by avocu in italics. They are on the coaster brake arm of the bike I recently aquired, belived to be a BSA Mk V courier, now I'm not so sure.
