Ivor Ramsden Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Welcome, Chris! I'm sure you'll find a lot of help on here. Somewhere in my collection I've got a 1962 ex-MoD S2a. Let's see some photos of yours on here - I don't seem to be able to get on facebook right now. Edit - I've seen them now. V good! I'm a regular visitor to Malta - maybe we could meet up sometime?
