I wish I'd asked a family member who worked at Fort Halstead, he worked on light gum ballistics. He passed away 3 years ago, his name was Peter Fuller, a top ballistics and high speed photography expert, your friend might have known him.

Regards

I recognise the name. I worked down at the Fort in 1982-84 and again in 1986 so may have met him. I wax attached to GR1 section and he would possibly have been GR3 section.

Gentlemen

I was a final year apprentice toolmaker at the gun factory in 78 and I machined a  drop stamp die," - on the  roundabout"  for the new pattern wheels - 6 stud,  to supersede the 101 Land rover wheels  5 stud,  that were used originally.   They stopped making  military pattern 101 forward control land rovers in that year and I assume wheel matching was no longer relevant.

Kind regards

Ian
