Hi Detective, perhaps you should consult one of your colleagues, Bergerac pretty sure he knows all about the case.

Then the pikey’s arrived and upset the applecart.

To answer your question, If I found intruders in my house I wouldn’t fight back, it wouldn’t be worth it.

I nominate that as the weirdest statement of the year.

Maybe just a vendetta between him and the police.

Latest report from the EDP.
(Would have put the link up, but you are all probably the same as me, peed off with these news sites where you just start reading an article and up pops a bleeding advert).

Norfolk farmer Tony Martin, arrested on suspicion of possession of an illegal firearm, released on police bail.
Police have finished searching the home of farmer Tony Martin after he was arrested on suspicion of possessing an illegal firearm.
It is understood officers arrested Mr Martin this morning (Thursday) and police spent the day at his derelict, detached home in Emneth Hungate, near Wisbech.
Mr Martin, 71, served three years in prison for shooting dead Fred Barras, 16, at his home in 1999.
He was initially found guilty of murder but this was reduced to manslaughter on appeal.
A Norfolk police spokesman said: “As part of a planned operation, a 71-year-old man has been arrested in Wisbech this morning on suspicion of possession of an illegal firearm.”
People in Emneth Hungate said yesterday that there was some sympathy for Mr Martin in the village, and expressed shock at the huge police presence.
One man, who did not wish to be named, said: “I saw three armed police officers at the corner of Hungate Road.
“There were transit vans, forensic teams, unmarked police cars, and a helicopter overhead.”
He said he did not know Mr Martin well, but spoke to him when he saw him. “He keeps himself to himself,” he added.
Another neighbour, who also wished to remain anonymous, said: “I get on well with Tony, although I don’t have a lot to do with him.”
Another neighbour said he also saw armed police officers near his home.
“Tony’s always about,” he said. “He often comes in the yard and has a chat. His land is now contracted out. I saw him last about two days ago, when he was fine.”
According to a national newspaper, Mr Martin was arrested after allegedly claiming he still kept a weapon to a reporter. Mr Martin was commenting on the shooting at an Essex care home where pensioner Rita King, 81, was allegedly killed by her husband, during which he allegedly claimed that “Britain was awash with illegally held firearms”.

Mr Martin insisted that police were in denial at the scale of illegally held guns in Britain.

Officers have this evening finished their search of the address and Mr Martin has been released on police bail until late February 2016.

Quick guess.

I’m not saying that I’m a 100% right, but the fact is that the numbers are there.
They were put there for a reason, yet no one seems to know what they mean.
Browning 0.303 Machine gun and the BESA machine gun were both made by BSA.
At the moment I cannot find out how the production lines of these guns worked or what marks were put on.
But still looking. 😀

Had a bit more thought on this number and have come to the conclusion that it is a final inspection stamp.

BE is used to donate that it was made by BSA sometimes referred as BESA.
387 either the inspector no or referring that it was made in July 1938.
Need to see other examples such as 39 40 or other to confirm.

Have played around with it a bit, now looks like 387 same as number on first pic so am guessing that its the inspectors stamp.
