The gun mount looks very similar to the BREN sustained fire/ AA mountr. I can help you there, I have a BREN mount I can phtograph.

I do like the expresion on the camel's face.

Great to know she has found a loving home. What work is required on her?

Morning Andy, pull up a box the kettle is on.

Have you QUITE finished making me green with envy? My limit is just about an Airfix kit. :noyay:

Well have Stephane a tea addict by about the 8th of June :-D Now to get him onto Custard Creams! :shocked:

Happy landings Rick, hope to see you.

Hi and welcome. Nice to RASC being portrayed, always the bridsesmaids.

I normally use Dot 4 with no problems in all the toys, that's from 1944 Dodge to 1985 Range Rover plus the 101.

There is supposed to be atunnel from the top of Polehill in Kent down to the sevenoks rail tunnel that was used to move ammunition from store to the railway. And that's as true as I'm standing here riding my bike!!!!!

Don't worry, we won't! :-D Weather looks good. DON'T forget plenty of camera battries everyone! We are due over the 4th.

Lone Star were the other 'gunmaker' of youth. They made a superb die cast Webly Mk5 Revlover, and the dreaded spud gun. They ghad the licence to use the James Bond and Man From U.N.C.L.E. logos. My favourite, often seen in the hands of TV assasins at the time was a C96 Flat side Mauser, with attaching butt barrel extension and telescopic sight. I did get to own the real thing until........no going high order political. :argh: PS The green bit at the bottom of the Johnny Seven unclips to become a pistol. http://www.nicholscapguns.com/lonestar.htm

For those who haven't seen it. Channel Fives new series Helicopter Warfare, now on demand 5. Last week was the staory of the Wessex 5 Humphrey in the Falklands this week a story of Huey's rescuing troops under fire in Vietnam. Some good archive footage, plus CGI.

Neil try the magic words 'Small claims Court'. or 'Not merchantable Quality' and 'Trading Standards Office'. Can't say RR have ever impressed me, I've heard other tails, such as Jeep bought and paid for that magically changed its identity for a rust bucket when the conatainer was opened at it's destination.

Dot 4 is mineral, if I remember correctley. Be careful of using synthetic braske fluid in old systems. The rubber don't like it.

Happy birthday mate!

In my far off days at HMS Ganges, it snowed. We got the job of sweeping the 'Quaterdeck' outside the headquarters building. The CPO Eggy Bowen was in charge, a new young Subby came up with the bright idea that fire hoses would wash the snow away. Eggy tried to point out the faults of this plan, like the below freezin tempratures, but Subby insisted. At this point Eggy saluted and said 'Yes Sir!'. He then gathered us little Nozzers round and said 'Right lads! You all know unless an order is illegal you do it first, then complain'. 'I will now teach you the other rule, the subtlest form of insubordination is take a stupid order and do it. So we will now wash the snow off the Quarterdeck.' We all set to with a will. Some time later the Quaterdeck clear of snow, the Captain walked out and went flat on his brass hat. Eggy was immediatly summoned and questoned closley. The legend went that the Captain's interview with the Subby was heard in Ipswich! About eight weeks later while watching an inter mes football match on a Saturday afternoon, Eggy collapsed and died, a good man gone. But I learnt a very important lesson. :cool2:

OK Phil' Stephan and all others the kettle will be on at Ver Sur Mer. I'll have my Dodge 'Ruby Baby' over there. The Garrison and the Hampshire's will be there, plus others. :yay:Wen will have to get an HMVF group picture!

Maybe a Stolly might be more use to you? :cool2: Welcome to the nut house.

And a radio! :shake:

Never mind Snapper, they say that fifty is now the modern thirty. So what did we do when we where thirty?

OH GROW UP!!!:argh: on the other hand why?:-D

The Rhodesians came with some superlative kit.

Not being smug, but! got absolute living hell for bouncing a white hard rifle bullet off Mum's vase on the mantelpice. Going on e pay for about 500 Quid!!!!!:sweat:
