Hi Geoff:

This has gotten me very curious so I've sent a PM on the DND net to a chum of mine asking for more detail on the differences between the M2HB and the aircraft version... he is the CF's senior armourer and an acknowledged expert on antique machine guns (he owns a huge collection of his own). I'm especially interested to learn about the ballistic differences between the two MGs.

The Polish gent's Browning is also interesting... on close look you can see that the belt is cloth and the rounds are rimmed... I suspect it is a .303 version.

Currently negotiating the acquisition of a couple of .50's for the halftrack and M113.5 Lynx. Sorry guys, please don't ask... you have to be a registered museum with a business licence to get these ones.

Cheers! Mike
