    Interesting L42A1 Pictures - Gordon Highlanders

    After Reading Flickr's content policy regarding linking to images and our instructions on how to post images, I believe the following is acceptable. If not please let me know.

    Some intersting pictures of L42s in the field, 1970s and 80s with the Gordon Highlanders, posted by Ronnie Bell.

    That was a bit unkind Simon. In fact, I'd say that it was downright.......... Oh never mind. Forums are about comment and discussion.

    Hmmm. It seems very clear to me Peter that you are quite happy to pass comment on folks opinions or questions with very thinly veiled or barbed remarks and how in your "limited experience" nobody else in the world appears to have any comprehension of the finer workings of the Enfield Rifleicon system other than you. Alas it also seems clear that you are also unable to comprehend comedic sarcasm which I would have thought someone with a service background would be immune too.

    Perhaps I'm out of line but when I was being apprenticed if I couldn't take the joke I would have been plainly and simply told to "get over myself" and "grow a set"

    But if you don't agree feel free to berate me!

    It is ok Simon being a wild colonial i got it. Peter must have got a knock back (not quite the young bull any more like most of us ) so was feeling a little fragile.
    So some of you closer old bulls take him for a beer and a talk.
