What hasn't been mentioned is that the RNLI also supply qualified Lifegaurds on the shoreline. These people provide a very hands on service. Thier work often seems very banal. Paddle out a few hundred yards and pull in somebody who finds out that their 50 meter school certificate in a swimming pool is no use in the sea. Except if they weren't there the headline would have been 'Local beach claims victim'. Pontificate as much as you like, until you need them.

Yes sage advice, probably along the lines of 'Yore DOOOMED!!! Toitally DOOMED!. Welcome to the Forum. With your background you are now probably 'Expert elect' on 'What is that civvy car in the background?' And you thought you were looking for advice. Welcome to the madhouse. :-D

Look closley it is a wheel lock! That was mostly associated with Saxony. Dating 1505/7 for the first mention.

As for the tyres, there is a picture of a Jeep in Berlin with four diffrent sizes of tyres and a piece of metal bolted across the side wall of one. Intresting fact Dodges were shipped to the UK on skinny tyres with no spare. Remember at that time most rubber came from Malaya, and who had Malaya at the time? The top one is from the defences of the Panama Canal. Though why Mortars I don't know.

F.I.D.O. was used but burnt an incredible amount of fuel. One of the best articales I've read on it was in the Britian At War magazine. It was intended to use it on civil airfeilds, but the development of RADAR and Blind Landing equipment made it obsolete. the system worked by using pressurised burners, similar in principle to Tilley lamps. There were eventually about a dozen airfeilds equipped.

It is a obviously a French variation on the British Seven barrrel gun A La Harper in Sharpe. Hopefuly each barrel discharges in turn, next one for a dislocated shoulder please! I like that revolving rifle underneath though.

Afraid they DON'T PUBLICISE. I first knew the collection when it was at the Rotunda. The move to Woolwich actually took about fifteen years in the end. -

Did you try pointing any of this out to them? :-D I was asked by a member of staff when I visted did I enjoy it, I was truthful. After wards when he asked what I thought I knew about the subject, I pointed to the car park. The Dodge was parked outside loaded with kit to go to jersey for May 9th. :cool2:
