Went on a bit of a sad road trip today. Mrs B and I made the drive to the resting place of her Father, who passed away 2 years ago tomorrow. Be wary of asbestos, folks. The journey of roughly 170km took us past another 25 pounder I wouldn't normally get to see, sitting proudly outside the Murgon Returned Services League. As a point of interest, I have posted some of the photos below, and in two following posts. You're welcome to copy them all. What is the round piece that sits on the trail, in photo two? Some form of socket something else fits onto?

Tony, the socket is for the horizontal air pump that tops up the recuperator air pressure.

My sight door track is finished, courtesy of my neighbour.
DSC_0157.jpg Typical that I am rostered to work this weekend, both days, and won't get this or the door onto the shield until Monday next wk. Anyone have suggestions for suitable WWII Australian unit markings / TAC signage? Once the telescope mounts and box frame are done, I will paint the entire shield properly and put signage on.
