Don't like the TV adaptions, since when does David Jason fit the descriptions of Rincewind, or Albert! Mind you the politically correct bit in Hogfarther where the cigarretes keep getting blown about made me smile. Tony Gerharty's BRIXMIS is worth a read as is THE RAVENS and AIR AMERICA. If you can get a copy, Braver Men Walk Away, though not strictly military is worth a read. Radio version of Maurice and his Educated Rodents, is good though. /Which book first mentions that? Wasn't it Nanny Ogg? Maybe we should get Leonard of Quirm to give Jack some advice on the GMC? For tghose who haven't seen it The Last Hero is a must beautiful illustrations by the late Paul Kidby

Welding was known in ancient times. Oxy Acetaline welding came in about 1900.

Talking of spares, I know where a varied batch wil be coming on the market. Anyone intrested PM me, Forum users first option.

You seriously think a standard car radio will drown out the noise of a Land Rover? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::n00b: Beter put it all in a Tupperware box as well! Radios don't like water!

Do you soak the leather washers in anything before fitting? Mineral oil is the kiss of death for leather. I always soak the washers for Tilley in Nikwak conditioner. Keeps the stuff supple and also seals the leather.

Fascinating stuff on that sight. Note at least one of the ambulances was a Presentation vehicle. You guessed it , Jersey prsented an ambulance as well.

Another one suffering from age? Try the following 1) Find your keys. 2) Place keys in pocket, 3) Wait thirty seconds 4) Where are your keys? If you can remeber one out of three times, your ... Er what was I saying?:-D

It's Jack's age! Yes , Jack, there were a set of standard designs, although odditys do appear.

Sorry Jack didn't notice. Was busy checking the snorkel and flippers. :-D

Yes and the tendency to run around in circles till everyone falls down. :rofl:

Peter, Paul and Mary. Didn't Mary die recently?

Fascinating subject. When were the defences started?

There was a guy in East Retford, I think, a few years back doing a roraing trade converting Stollys to diseil for sale abroad.

Actually, it the local authority who grant Black Powder licences. The problem is not the LAW on Firearms, that's quite straightforward. It's the GUIDELINES, ie 'make up as you go along' that are the problem.

Please post more pictures, and stories. :iloveyou:

INTRESTING PICS!!!!!!!!! The whole D*mn lot is virtually operational! Some of the CIOS guys spent a lot of time over there getting info to restore the bunkers in Jersey and Gurnersey.

S*D the rifles!! Did You get the Mauser 1898! :nut:

Wasn't that an ex British Airways Pionair? Was behind the cameras (horse work) for Force Ten from Navarone. Got a pair of gloves from the English Civil War series By the Sword Divided.

I have a leaning to Wee Free Men! Makes me trhink of trhe club house on Saturday night, or Bunker Bash on Sunday morning. :cool2:

Nice job, and WHAT a great toy!

Cost of air time. A lot of campiagns, especially a high profile one will run full length ads, then edit for later on.Notice the whole Great War Section missing?

Cor!! I'm out to the shed!! If make that price ,I'm rich .. RICH ...HAAAAAAA!!!!!:yay:

Puff the Magic Dragon , lived by the sea, and froliced in the Autum mist in a land called Honelllly! ,,, My karioke effort. Funnily enough looking at a late 1950's Pathe News film about Honeymoons in Jersey showed a Pionair in Channel Airways Livery. I must say have a very soft spot for the Dackota's Intra had one in the C47 mode, wider freight door. What's happned to Dackman? He'd know chapter and verse.

Thanks Richard, Royal Ordanace Factory Nottingham. Could be worth checking with Royal Armouries, or National Army Musuem. They'd know the exact manufacturer, maybe be possible to get a manufacture date from serial number. Is he going for blank firer? Intresting, keep us posted.

When you compare The Colour of Magic with the latest, Discworls really has developed. Note Oat's has reappeared from Carpe Jugalum, especially like the bit about 'Forgivness' Back on track , Escape to Freedom by Tony Johnson, I got mine free after renewing Britian At War, another great read.
