  1. Just read that Hunter wellies are going into administration.Since they stopped being made for work and country folk,they went up in price,down in quality and just a fashion accessory no surprise really as they were very poor. I had a pair of Royal hunters in the 80's wore the. Nearly every day and they lasted years.
  2. Brilliant paintings Scully. I have a winchester diamondgrade and it would be pure fantasy to have it pictured with a brace of snipe.coz I wouldn't be able to hit two. However the level of detail and the actual look of metal truly amazes me.
  3. I did the same but just a sack no straw
  4. They have served the armed forces very well indeed. Same as the sea king did.Which was great to work with. Getting long in the tooth now though. I wonder if some will be mothballed as we never know in the current climate when they will be needed
  5. It's the hercules final flight before they get stood down.They did a tour of the UK then a flight for King C. On the trooping of the colour.
  6. That's great.The painted head looks very good.I would be very happy with that. Mods is there a chance of having a stickmaking category?
  7. As far as I can remember there is an exclusion zone.Dont know what the distances are. If its boat fishing which I presume it is it should be on your charts.
  8. All I have has been ok mo problems with anything.I may have been lucky though.Cheap enough too.
  9. Can't remember the proper name I used to run hard face rods across the front of our loader buckets.
  10. A true countryman as already said.He and Jack Hargreaves were a big part of my viewing.
  11. Lovely sticks.Just wish I had a little more time and I'd have a go.
  12. I put the same up weeks ago unfortunately I had no luck.
  13. Yes the dovetail is very neatly done.Never seen anything quite like it.
  14. As the previous 2 posts say you have an amazing talent.I love to see craftsmen at work rather than mass produced.There is a place for both.Fantastic work.
  15. Here is the original and replacement gravestone.I hope the original is preserved somewhere.
  16. https://thelincolnite.co.uk/2023/05/dambusters-dog-mascots-grave-may-be-relocated-from-raf-scampton/ This is unbelievable my late father flew in lancs during the 2nd World War in 617 squadron(wasn't a dambuster).surely this is wrong.The dogs name was not offensive at the time.We really are losing our way.
  17. The petrol ones are good.Dont use one anymore but when I did they were easy to use,A little noisy but will carry a fair bit with ease.saves the back
  18. Thank you.Ill heed the advice. Done it was so simple to do.Following the advice from gunman I pressed the barrels down on a wooden worktop only doing one at time.Pressed an Allen key into the hole in the slide and slowly raised the barrels. I was very surprised how clean everything was.relubed and replaced with ease.
  19. Hope it's going to get sorted it's one of my favourites.Maybe a buyer could be found.
  20. Thank you.Ill heed the advice.
  21. Scully. On further you tube and googling there are distinct similarities with Lanber ejectors so I'll have a look next time the cabinet is open.
