Aha, seen those pics before! Nice restoration and clever to use 40mm Bofors for blank firing. Rounds are easy to find and cheap too.

Cheers,

Hello friends,

A recent find! It needs work but as it is quite rare and complete with inner spacers I'm very happy none the less!

Anyone have a photo or picture of this chest with contents in place? Nothing in my manuals unfortunately.



Cheers,

Thanks Adrian, I can imagine. I would be too..

Tim, that's the plan! Need to go through my 6 pdr spares and see what I already have. Hopefully someone can provide a photo of a filled box so I know what goes where and how all items look....

Rob Nixon? Can you help?

Cheers,

Hi Rod, best not to post your details like address, phone, email for everone to see. In general, you can trust the members on here but software bots trawl the entire internet looking for personal details.

If the email bounces try to send a PM.
