    Fine grade for large scale? :cool2: Try old aeronautic map suppliers, most of the maps used then would be RAF aircraft charts.

    Airfeild defence? Or as said many Home Gaurd, particullaly if they were near a shipyard or hevy enginnering work built their own. That's a Ross sticking out the top and the front of a 1921 Thompson, there other possibly a Lee Enfeild NUMBER 1. That would lean me to Home Gaurd. Possibly a factory gaurd unit.

    There is a story in a very old book called Send Another Signal, and I can't remember the authour. Attributed to an LST of normandy during the gale that hit after D-Day. Following the antics of the vessel the shore signalled 'Are you alright: Query' The reply is reputed to have been 'Yes, fine, and as it steamed off 'My next performance will include the Indian Rope Trick'. Bit of checking Authour Jack Broome. Two books Send Another signal and Make another Signal. Anyone know of copies please let me know.

    I remember when La Collete power station was being built in the early 1960's. The commutator was brought over to the island in an LST. She spent the night on the beach and my Dad took me down to see it. When you are about four or five, they are BIG!! Wasn't the nick name Large Slow target? Just checked the date. The build was completed 1965. I think Wynns did the road haul, biggest thing ever to move on the island.

    That's the scariest thing I've seen in a long time! How often have we all dragged vehicles or trailers with a sized wheel? As pointed out, even if apparently deflated, there is still air in there!
