    A gentleman my Mother worked for started as a private in WW2, he told me his first vehicle was a Pickford Pantechnecon. Every time a convoy came to a low bridge, he had to detour miles around it.

    At her age she can probably master a smartphone and the remote. Why shouldn't she be able to deal with a mere Lancaster? :-D

    What a sad affliction, there is a very positive action you can take to solve this problem. Buy more Dodges. :cool2: Welcome in.

    A black powder licence used to be write to the local authority then get it by return post. Now there are a lot more restrictions on storage. A 12 bore blank can be very impressive when fired from an artillery piece and a lot simpler than loading black powder charges.

    OK, we didn't get that bit. Can you put the shovel back down and stand on it so it hits you in the B**** again? Or my favourite comment on one film said to me after the Director shouted to us 'OK follow the Queen. 'In this company. Which one?

    Ah that's a whole new world of Beurocracy. Also in your case expanding ammunition. Bl**dy Hell, your FAO must be in turmoil! :-D

    Utt, in your case the need for a firearm would be considered the same as a slaughter man. Special dispensation would apply. As an aside, in your case, if you can prove Vetinary use, you could also apply for a Home Office Section 5 certificate. The reason being, dart guns, either rifle, pistol or blow guns, discharge a noxious substance, ie the Immobilon, which is a Section 5 weapon.

    Check with your insurance company! They are normally quite happy to cover you from collection to home on a foreign plate, but it must be direct. It is worth keeping an itenary of where and when you started , ferry tickets and time cleared customs in UK etc with you on the trip, so if something does happen you can document your compliance.

    Yes Sir! Sorry Sir. :writing: Though the one thing that I do miss about going to W&P is the variety of people from so many places.

    Is there a BL pattern here? That has to be a labour of extreme devotion. :-D

    Met police have licensced 25 lb guns, also Wiltshire and Essex come to think of it. Your FAO should be in a position to ask for info. Just don't get fobbed off by Guidlines. As a last resort you can apply to a Crown Court.

    Small world isn't it! :-D

    My ancsestors were, why do you think Jersey owns England! :trustme: Anyway I thought you went via the River Medway? Off track a bit do you know the origin of the The Royal and Dutch navies Church Pennants? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennant_(church) Just another odd bit http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/The-335-Year-War-the-Longest-War-in-History/ I love this forum simple questions go off in all sorts of ways. The Thunder Box and it's place in English History, including the excecution of Charles the First is a whole history in itself.

    Goes back a lot earlier than WW2. The 'Polite' term was to refer to it as '' La boîte qui tonnerre' from at least the time of the Norman Conquest. :writing:

    You will ned to show a VCR exemptiipn to purschase one from dealear. Though if you can show ownership of MV or re-enactment and public liability insurance, which is part of the membership of many groups, your fine.
  21. Tony B
    Very Diplomatic. :-D
  22. Tony B
    Welcome in. We will now all be demanding Mate's Rates! :-D

    For those with a fondness for Beltring. A bit of preparation? :cool2:

    Would be a Realistic Replica. Covered by VCR. Check your De Ac certificate and it states very clearly 'A de-Activated Firearm ins NOT a Firearm. I had this argument with Met Police a couple of years ago, also took great delight in pointing out I had an exemption under VCR, so give me my bits of METAL BACK!! Took 6 weeks and various letters from High Parties. The repaeted bleat 'Our Guidlines' was dismissed as irelevant.
