VICKERS MK6B's resto

I would think about another day should see these done but we all know how anything can change. Anyway the extractor works very well as a dry run but no doubt it will all need a bit of tweaking here and there once it is all together as I do want them to operate as they should. Of course they will never fire a real projectile A good simulation is my only goal.

.... you must try to launch a Foster Lager....preferably cold......

When do you ever eat and sleep?????

[colin jones]

Hi Bob, Fosters was launched in 1889 and sorry to say but it's just not that popular in Australia. Personally I think it's a bit like soapy water but that's just my opinion of course

Rumor has it that you fellas down under eat prawns not shrimp despite Paul Hogans famous tag line....

John, that is not a rumour! I can confirm that we do in fact eat prawns. Shrimps down here in Aus' are vertically challenged people and by that I don't mean dwarfs I mean people that are too short for their height
I might just add to the record, I don't know many people that throw prawns on the BBQ either. Our usual Barby would generally consist of. Snags (Sausages)
some patties, marinated steak (thinly sliced) onions, potato slices and probably some chicken wings. Oh, of course the missus or myself would do a salad, have a loaf of fresh bread and a big bottle of tomato sauce.

AHHH! The Great Aussie Barbie .... salivating just thinking about it! Washed down with an ale of choice (no, not Fosters Water ... )

Yes, .303 - I'm an idiot! (That does not need an answer!)

Thanks

Looks like a .303 blank to me, which is what the dischargers used originally.
