Ian Skennerton on board, back from the Zuid Afrika Republik
Thanks to all for the interest in our Sparrow Force documentary. We have a page in News & Events at http://www.skennerton.com for those who are not aware of the Australian 'bird' forces early in WW2. We are moving into production and taking the last travel-capable Sparrow Force survivor, Fred 'Lofty' Smith of A Coy., 2/40th Infantry Battalion, back to Timor in early December. Travel costs for Lofty and film crew are a priority for the production; the Milsurps management has kindly offered some assistance for the project.
My visit to South Africa was a revelation, I had no idea of the wide range of firearms there, especially Martinis, Lee-Metfords, Lee-Enfields, FAL and Galil copies. I would be happy to post some images later, if members are interested.
Cheers from Oz,
Ian & Su

Hi Ian , thankyou for sparing some of your time for us . I always thought I knew a bit about L-Es ,that is until I found your books and realised how little I knew , but you helped me fit my few jig-saw pieces into the bigger picture . It's a pity that as information becomes better , then restrictive legislation becomes worse . C'est la vie (as they say over here) .
Best regards from France ,
Bill.

As an ordinary member here, I must say that it is an honor to be in such great company. I have read some of Mr.Skennerton's works and admire his knowledge. We are so lucky. I look forward to building on my own knowledge...Welcome
