  1. Here is the original and replacement gravestone.I hope the original is preserved somewhere.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. Hope it's going to get sorted it's one of my favourites.Maybe a buyer could be found.
  6. Thank you.Ill heed the advice.
  7. 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.
  8. Couldn't find anything for the rizzini e unfortunately
  9. I have a rizinni e as a spare gun. Everything is fine with it all works as it should.I would like to give the rjectors and their mechanism a good clean and lube.Does anyone know how they come out please.
  10. Son had all his kitchen vinyl wrapped.I was sceptical but it looks really good.Up to now durable too.
  11. Definitely clutch alignment tool.Used a huge one for years on artics they are so simple but very effective and save a lot of swearing.
  12. That's exactly the reason I deal with them my way.
  13. We get or we used to get a few under our bird feeder which they cannot reach as its on the washing line.when I spot them I use magnum traps in a proper pest control box baited with peanut butter.i continue until non are caught.i have never had anything in them apart from rats.If they come back I trap again.Interestingly we never saw any until a couple of years ago.
  14. That is really good. I love the g & r original but that is brilliant.
  15. First thing to check is if its old fuel.This new stuff doesn't keep well at all.
  16. Zebrite is really good polish but as ditchman pointed out on the first lighting it stinks then it's fine. That's what I used to use.but I think there is a cheaper alternative.
  17. Skills for life I imagine.
  18. I Pmd him a couple of weeks ago but haven't had a response.I hope all is OK.
  19. Nothing but total respect for any one who has worked down the mines.They kept Britain warm and built a huge industry.The supply chain and associated engineering work also created thousands of jobs.
  20. Love his work and all he did for Help for heroes.RIP sir
  21. Used to have the non engraved version one of the best guns I ever owned could hit anything with it. And yes the dismantling is certainly unique. If you were more local I'd have jumped at it.
  22. No I think there is a members bit different video etc.
  23. Think I'll stick with my 2 diesels 1.8 honda getting 60 mpg 2 litre insignia getting well over 50 mpg on a run. Chap at work bought a newish nissan can't get beyond york from Blackpool without stopping to charge so he's bought a 1.4 peugot for distance journeys.
