Roger, Will repost as soon as I can. Bazz

you certainly did.:shocked: Bazz

we've been promised some flights in c130's doing practice drops over the plain. Bazz

One of my old SAA Inst used to put the gas plug in upside down for the same reason. Bazz

Hello all, I'm off to Knook SPTA 03.00 fri, have to report to Stainton Camp at Barnard Castle 16.00 tomorrow. Will keep an eye open for interesting mv's and will try to get some pics. Bazz

Mark, you are not alone, I think the SLR was the dogs b*****ks of rifles. Bazz

MB, Never did send you the SLR sling, do you still want 1 or 2?:??? Bazz

Alien, the 2 wpn sights for SLR were Suit and NOD, sometimes referred by some as "The Twilight Scope". Twiggy was a tripod mounted observation device based on the II principle. Bazz

See http://www.ds-solutions.co.uk for inch SLR/L1A1 parts. Bazz

As Alien stated above, the SLR had a SUIT sight fitted.This was pre SA 80 days. Bazz

Alien, I thought that your resemblance to Wallace was striking. Bazz

With the fog, very little was seen especially in the air, no flying on Saturday and only 2 flights on the Sunday.:-( Bazz

A few pics taken at the Airshow.

attempted to visit twice, both days the garrison was on an alert and I couldn't get into the base. Bazz

Steve, Hope to get there, I've got a meeting tomorrow AM about ACF camp to Knook, hope to finish mid afternoon and hve time to pop down. Bazz

Just to go on a bit from Aliens post, on the same ex I was following a Scorpion down a deep track, he was about 25m in front, the track started to get narrower and deeper. We must of gone about 150m when the veh in front came to a grinding halt. I stopped and walked down to the veh, what had happed was that the tracks on both sides of the veh had been pushed of the bottom run of the roadwheels by the pressure of the soil building up on the sides. The crew then had to dig out the sides of the veh so the tracks could be split and the veh then was dragged back up the track so the tracks and roadwheels could be replaced, it took hours. Bazz

My missus nearly had a heart attack the first time she washed a pair of my "I've just done a gearbox and engine change" coveralls. Bazz

i was driving so couldn't drink. However did meet and chat with some mates not seen for a long time on the QOY and LD display stand. Bazz

weather hot, but a very thick sea fret continously blowing in off the sea, at times very clear but most of the time you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Bazz

Visited today, weather foggy only 3 flying which were heard but not seen. Will post piccys and more info when I've downloaded them to computer. Bazz.

Congrats and hope that you have many more. Bazz

Planks also used to prevent magnetic mines/bombs from being stuck to the sides. Bazz

I think they are very good, used them for medal replacement and mounting, excellent service and products. Bazz

Roger, Roger, I've seen them thanks. Bazz

[Many months ago somebody was asking about the new Military Map Symbols.I've found a PDF Copy of the new handbook on arrse.Its under the Staff College and Staff Officers Forum. Bazz
