    Is eBay down?

    Ok for me at 8.29, watching stuff i don't need
  3. I've got a 1915 Joseph Lang with a single trigger, no issues with the trigger in a few years of owning it
  4. Very nice It was AYA117 who started this thread
  5. My wife is Indian and her dad (I never met him as he died in an aircrash before I met my wife) was a Spitfire Pilot in the then Royal Indian Airforce He trained at Little Rissington and I think flew over Burma with No 1 Squadron "The Tigers" There are a few photos about and a cartoon sketch titled "The Tiger or the Hog" as when he was Squadron Leader he was supposed to have hogged all the test flights
  6. I agree My very nice BLNE damascus Greener on this thread was, at a £1000, a bit over-priced from a private seller who knew I liked it a lot and had let me use it on a game day Also the stock is short, at 6' I'd want at least an inch on it
  7. Thanks I'd forgotten about this; much touted at the time but I don't think it was free to air

    You got there before I did and agree
  9. Klaatu Barada Nikto On C14 tonight, the 2008 version
  10. https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/John-Sparrow-GB.html I want to see this. The link above is about a bloke from a shoot near Dulverton who used to race AC Cobras in the 60s!
  11. Stand By me: I was twelve going on thirteen first time I saw a dead human being. It happened in the summer of nineteen-fifty-nine. A long time ago. But only if you measure in terms of years.
  12. Thanks Every fishing club of which I'm a member has emailed to say all fishing must stop until government guidelines change The 2 shooting grounds I go to have closed

  14. "It's a floater" Kevin & Perry Go Large
  15. 'I will show you where the Iron Crosses grow" It's been interesting to look up some of these quotes and find films I've not seen (the magnificent speech from The Great Dictator) or not even heard of (The Adventures Of Ford Fairlane) - thanks
  16. it's always interesting to hear your comments on English Guns, thanks
  17. I've got 1 in the original box with a few bits and bobs inside, you can have it if you can collect
  18. Very nice and with interesting provenance
  19. On a pheasant shoot in January Chris with 28gm 6s, very nice
  20. This is a bit of interest related to the Greener from about 1/2 way through its life. I think the officer (then owner of the gun) fought with the Dorsets in Dunkirk and the Far East
  21. Hopefully here are a few of the Greener Chris 'Old Boggy' on here gave me a date of 1878
  22. Very nice Where in Slovenia was this? I've been looking to fish in the west and fly to Trieste. Snow melt is apparently an issue in May/June Thanks for posting Kevin
  23. Pressure is apparently the issue with damascus barrels
  24. I must put up photos of my newly acquired Greener 30" damascus barrels, A&D, non ejector, 2 1/2. It won't compete with the stunning Dixon above though I can also miss stylishly It came with a nice leg of mutton case, lining gone but soft leather not brittle, and a letter back from Greener in 1951 to the then officer owner saying they couldn't find the orginal records
