Danllan Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Hello all, I am trying to get hold of a Ditchman manual flapper - sadly he has stopped making them (maybe to see the value increase due rarity, before releasing hidden stocks... 🤨). I had a manual flapper when I was a lad, but it's long lost now, my boys are starting to shoot now and I'd like one for them to use. If anyone has a spare or unwanted one please let me know and we'll come to a mutually satisfactory arrangement. Thanks in advance.

Whitebridges Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 I’ve got one of Ditchy’s works like a dream. ‘You might like to try Flightline decoys. https://www.flightlinedecoys.co.uk/ Their FF6 manual flapper gets some good reviews.

Danllan Posted December 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Well, I've got one and am very pleased with it. British - or maybe Norfolkian - engineering at its best. 🙂 Many thanks to @deny essex . 👍 Edited December 7, 2018 by Danllan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
