It could have worked but the reality was that it didn't.

I believe that an uncle of my mother was one of the British soldiers who served at Gallipoli and survived only to be seriously wounded on...

I have abseiled a vertical cliff myself many years ago but I couldn't quite work out what was going on here. If the photo has been flipped over it helps explain it.

One does hear of it regarding couples who have been together for a long time.

But are they attached to the rope with some sort of harness and something like a Carabiner?

I've not shown these items online before but considering their rarity I thought that some forum members here may be interested to see them. These items formed part of my grandfather's gas...

You could melt it down, allow it to cool and then, perhaps, have some justification in calling it a "billet of steel".

You need to be sure to stay the right side of the law both in the US and the UK in this situation.

Just a webbing frog that will accept the No.5 scabbard.

I wonder if it would be possible to use the services of a US forwarding agent and get the US seller to post the item to the forwarding agent who then posts it to you? You would have to be careful to...

The point that I think you are missing, Cinders, and I was trying to make, is that I don't believe it is a case of Russia "taking tanks out of storage and sending them to Ukraine" but more a case of...

It sounds like the tank was left abandoned for some time. One would have thought that Ukraine could have found some way of either destroying it or recovering before Russia got it's hands on it.

Can you make out what the pen marking is on the flap?

I have this pair of antique tennis racquets that are thought to be around 100 years old. The first one is by G. G. Bussey and is the Prince model while the 2nd appears to be labeled as the Shamrock....

Money saved is money earned.

I fully anticipate that Israel will hit Iran back hard and it is just a question of when.

It looks like rather "rough turning" to me, compared to how I would turn metal in a lathe.

Do you have a L4 mag case?

I go to a similar sort of place fairly regularly with lots of vendors with a "unit" and the owner of the establishment running the till. The way that it works at this place is that they will normally...

You could see what sort of deal/price reduction you might be able to get out of the antique shop.

The first 4 pics show the box with the joints of the new wood sanded down. The last 2 pics show wood plugs glued into the unwanted holes in the ends.

As an aside this wooden box was superseded by...

I'm not sure on that. I believe that many stores numbers may have changed in the post war period? Im not sure if Peter is able to shed any light on that question, please?

Don't forget to pack your flak jacket and kevlar helmet.

If you're planning a visit to Tehran as well while you're in that part of the world you probably want, for self preservation reasons, a...

I purchased this headphone storage box on eBay not realising that the bottom 2 1/2" had been removed meaning that it wasn't tall enough to store headphones in. After reaching a settlement with the...

The first 2 pics are of original Civil Defence Corps recruitment posters dating to the 1950's or early 60's. The middle pic was taken in May 1966 at the army school of Civil Defence, Devizes, when...

The following photos were taken on Civil Defence Corps training courses during the 1960's. As far as I am aware these photos have not been seen online before.
