    MEMORIES

    We dressed much the same in destroyers. All very different now I guess. I came out in 1983 after 9 years, agree very different now. The PC thing, Wrens becoming RN and going to sea, I doubt that we would recognise life on board now.

    A different world Dunks, small ships. Pirate rig unless you were in Base, steaming boots and overalls in machinery spaces, shorts and flip flops everywhere else. Only 32 crew so very relaxed compared to big ships, good times.

    You would have liked Ton class 'sweepers then, they could roll on their beam ends on a damp lawn......

  6. How about taking the springs off and using them as patterns to wind heavier gauge springs that would cope with the weight?

  12. Hi Gordon, great to meet you and Emil at Hazlebanks today, a nice round of Compak. Well pleased with the Exquisite thank you, it will be put to good use every chance I get to take it out. Take care, Steve.
  13. Payment made as requested, would you please let me know when you post it, thank you.
  14. If you're around Miami head for Lock And Load, just about anything you fancy a pop with including Barrett .50 cal. Well worth a visit, UK driving licence accepted as proof of Id.
  15. Be interesting to see if you find the same with Yellow Jackets that I did, rifle is the same CZ452 and zeroed at 70 yds with Winchester X 42 grain subs. When trying some Yellow Jackets they grouped well enough but an inch and a half low and an inch left of centre, two strings of five shots the same. CCI subs, 40 grain, shot pretty much the same as the Winchesters. Atb Steve.
  16. Decoy 1979,you have a pm re the 20 bore carts.
  17. Yes please, you have pm. Hi, you have pm.
  18. Just a random thought, could you use the individual blades from a set of engineers feeler gauges? They are spring steel rather than brass but are already shaped with a taper and a radius on the end. Tricky bit would be to hold three or four blades in a fixed position.
