    The Battalion Armourer at the War & Peace Show.

    Gentlemen. I will be attending the War & Peace show at Folkstone racecourse, with my Armourers Field Workshop Display. I will have all Tools & Gauges nessacary to effect light repairs & Mods in the Field. Bring your Brens, LMGs, Rifles Etc along if you need 'Treatment'! This is a Working Set up with a REAL Armourer at work. Come & see me for assistance, Advice, Sales Etc. I will be located at Fort Bastion, to the Far Right of it. Look out for a sand Coloured Anti-Tank Gun & the attached sign. Attachment 44264 I will deploy on the 13th & then extract at end of play on the 21st July.

    Well, the show was excellent! I had many 'visitors' & a couple of repairs to effect. It was nice to meet some of you guys & put a face to a name. I spent a lot of time in the afternoons chilling with a few 'cold ones', which was great!

    I have attached some photo's for your interest. These were taken first thing in the Morning whilst having a Brew! Note the empty small arms rack, I later unloaded a 'few' Deacts to compliment the display. But sadly forgot to take some pics of the setup when it was in full swing!

    I finally gave in & bought myself one of the Ex Irish Contract MKIII Bren's, but NOT at the retail price! I only ever pay Trade!...... They are not in bad nick at all, though hand painting over some of the stainless components needs attention!

    A minor nause is the gas reg is set at the smallest hole, when it SHOULD be at the SECOND largest port!.......Well, I think I can live with that! LOL. Another gap filled in the collection, all I need now. Is an L4A3................

    Tank Hunter. My Irish MK3 Bren has the gas regulator in the same position as your one ( photos on FB). Please keep me informed of any modifications required. Kind regards, Lester
