Thanks Badger. Never heard of her. I wonder if she's still alive and if she has an opinion about Canadian Gun Control and the Long Gun Registry fiasco?
Might give Wendy C. a stroke - women making guns!

Interesting history! And a pretty girl.
So I can't spell, so what!!!
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who beat their swords into ploughshares, will plough for those who don't!
Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

VERY interesing article MrC. I did something similar about 5 years ago. The Mini Cooper S had a macho racing and rallying image throughout its life and as a result, only 1 female ever featured in any of the advertising brochures and that was in 1965/67 or so. I set about finding her. The old BMC as was and their advertising agents had gone down the pan by then. To cut a long and interesting story short, I put an article in one of the UK National papers. After a long time, with a few good leads AND her name now known (that came from Sandra Howard - another famous model of the era) I had everything except HER if you'll excuse the phrase.......
She eventually came forward and we feted her at Britains largest Mini Cooper festival.
Well don MrC

Yep that girl was difinetely a credit to Canada both in looks and in her job making those fine guns! I have a Canadian 8 as well as an English 303. The 8s are rare in the states. Some years back I stupidly passed on acquiring a L4A2 I've not heard of another registered one in the US. It was a mere 4Gs about18-20 yrs back. Speaking of Canadian gun law excesses then they have the nerve to advitise in the US for us to come up and hunt there? NO WAY ! Things will change when the political refugees take control.
