No4 Battle damaged relic....

[Son]

That's sort of what I was thinking Peter. Why destroy something historic like that? It's just a matter of the autorities not having any imagination in these matters.

I'm afraid it has nothing to do with imagination and all to do with procedure. Where Peter, in his position, could have the final say on how to inert a live round in a chamber as opposed to blowing it... the procedure here is very much black and white.
