Mike Curril & Kernoglyn, thanks for the update, Ive been out the “Green Machine” loop for some time and Id forgotten about the laser sight sorry brain fart big time, and too much time firing Ickle bullets, bring back the Lee Enfield No.4 & the Bren & proper bullets LoL Bex

Excellent photos guys thanks for sharing them hope you all enjoyed yourselves, the weather was good for us all even down at Gatwick!!! Bex

Depends on how many sprouts Rudolph has had 🙂

In that case I hope that Santa dont smoke. Bex

oooo eck, NORAD’s tracking it……… I hope its got a missile warning system on it LoL Bex

Sea Hawk, for a first post I think its a good one. I agree with your list and the points u made about the Sea Fury, but theres one you missed off your list what about the Fairey Gannet? Now that is an aircraft Id like to see the FAA get airbourne again. Bex

I may be wrong in what Im about to say, but, Challenger 2 tanks use a 7.62mm GPMG as a spotter so based on that I would say yes its a spotting weapon with the added benefit of extra AA firepower and in my own experience of firing an 84mm Carl Gustav AT weapon which had a single shot sighting “rifle” attached to the side of it. Thats my view, if Im wrong then I look forwards to being corrected and educated in this piece of history. Bex

Me be serious? Never LoL Now david, you didnt mention if said Guard was twiddling his thumbs or not??? :diablo:

Becky – ‘ No sense of history’ with the massive exception of putting Concordes on loan with museums around the globe!

Ok I conceed Concorde, that was impressive, and I shouldve been more specific perhaps, still doesnt hide the fact that BA are still scrapping their heritage collection at Cosford tho. Bex
