bigduke6 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 21 hours ago, Ron said: I'm not so sure Duke? I'm often amazed at the quality and engineering that went into a piece of equipment which maybe only had a life expectancy of a short period. If something was designed and ordered to be produced, I don't think there would have been any instructions to make it shoddy. I've still yet to see an original drop cage but I bet the welds are neat 🙂 Ron Ron, When I mention quality ......I was meaning more about the overall finish, as it was designed to take the shock and impact and not transmit it to the contents, the quality control would of been more in line about load testing etc rather than welds all ground nice and flush. I would say a good comparison is the Sten Gun, not the nicest of finishes but did its job very well....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEW Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hello, I am very interested in one of the drop crate that Nigel Silver makes, can someone please forward me his contact or give him mine? I have a James but the drop crate was the same. Thany You! David Animas7@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 David I'll email you Nigel's phone number. But I'm quite sure the ML was never dropped by parachute. The drop cage was for the Flea only. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 bloody Hell! sorry to hear that. He's a bit young for that sort of goings on!!😕 Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welbike Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 No, the James was never fitted in a dropcage, and it would not fit either, it's much more substantial! They were carried in gliders though, so you could replicate one of those? Shame to hear about Nige! he's about my age. Lex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
