    That is Robert Turp, ex Major in the KSLI doing the test firing. The two ladies were from the production line. They all used to come through to test fire what they'd made. They were L2A2/Mk3 guns. I couldn't get any sound or commentary. Should there be some? Mind you, I know what the sound of s Sterling at full tilt is!

    Peter,
    No there was no commentary, otherwise I am sure it would have been down the lines of "You are never going to fire that with lipstick on are you"?? OR "see you behind the cycle sheds later Mertyl"
    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
