Agreed this is an excellent YouTube channel and the content is superb- no-one else seems to cover the U.K. golden age of aviation and Nick does a great job 

Super work as ever John thanks for all the updates in 2024 and all the best to you and the team for 2025!

I believe MV154 was painted in Oz by Steve Atkin/ Warbird Colour but SL633 is in the same colours as applied by ARCO at Duxford  and not painted by him (spoke to him today!)

Any dates for the 2025 Aeroboot(s) yet Howard?

There were a few NOS wooden cases containing two .303 aircraft Brownings floating around a few years ago. They were deactivated in the U.K.

If I recall correctly they were from Portuguese stocks and were  FN made and of course the Portuguese operated Hurricanes amongst other .303 equipped types so perhaps that answers the question? 

Hi Alan,
I don’t think either are 504 as the column appears to be too short and also I believe they had a squared end to slot into the torque tube – in any event they’re not like mine!

Terrific stuff John well done
