Certainly can't complain about vertical dispersion!

Or perhaps a mid-air collision between a police escort Cessna and the chopper?

I would suggest you leave it exactly as it is: don't even take it apart and clean off the accumulated grease and grime. Just clean the bore and chamber, boltway etc.: the obvious external areas any...

I'm sure all those things happened at times, and Ross made to order to some extent, at least for some customers such as Major Blair.

I looked through sources online in the past but found no...

From the finish in the first photo I would never have thought that was not the original height and configuration.

I assume when the bottom was removed the fresh cuts in the sides could be seen?...

Someone had a sequentially numbered pair of Envoys for sale here recently in original condition.

Opinions vary as to why some Rosses lack serials, but I suspect there was even more theft from that factory than is usual. ;):D

Serial number A0943, dated 1930, for future reference if any.

Suitable ammo will be 215gr MkVI or earlier?

It's noticeable how much heavier and denser that pre-WWI walnut was; old(er) growth presumably?

Had the butt from a Mk.I in my hand the other day...

Was J.P. Lee the inventor of that feature or Joseph Speed or who?

Yes, that was interesting Cinders. Do these cranes not have a built in load sensor to warn the operator when he tries to lift too much for a given angle, extension and ballasting etc.? Or does the...

M.E.F. "Mediterranean Expeditionary Force" is a term I saw on a trunk full of letters once.

Bah, late to the party, twice. :p

Not in the RA or RFA to judge by the deaf former members of those branches I encountered earlier in life.

The ever-growing number of videos of heavy duty telescopic cranes being tipped over by operators backs you up Cinders. Here we had some numbskull taking the locking pins out of the tower of a tower...

Ear plugs were on issue or is that just the typical "cotton wool"?

They've been there for a bit by the platform built and dugout(?) behind.

Fuse-setter on the right?

I have a full-length Collins No.28, and a few other types, and bright polished and sharp as it is, it certainly inspires a healthy regard in the viewer and the user, but it's more of a liability for...

Curious vegetation for a park: scrub with small conifers here and here, so I did a little reading:

The 14 Best Places To Travel In The U.S. In May


Presumably the reference is to wind and rain...

General Pershing does seem to have often been quite lost; and after the war a goodly number of incriminating documents were apparently "lost" from the US archives at his instigation.

Thanks for sharing your insights ssgross, depressing as they are.

Is the finish and the degree of wear along the spine consistent with what you see along the curve of the tip?

Actually it was the crafty French who first introduced the pointed bullet if I'm not mistaken.

The movie and the bravery notwithstanding, I'd suggest it was the achievements of the ANZAC on the Western Front that should be remembered most of all.

Gallipoli was opposed by too many powerful...
