Anyone Seen These Drawings Before?

[Peter Laidler]

I wish that you'd had the opportunity to come over Rod, maybe when Colonel KA was the NZ Liaison Officer here. He was a GOOD friend of ours. You could have had a half day or so on the FF or 100m range with the SA80-A2. I know that when I sing its praises people always say '...well you've got to say that haven't you...?' You know....., sing the party line and all that........ But it really is a different weapon now. I'm serious when I say that it was as good as anything else of the type. Ironically I'm meeting up with some of the old A2 REME trials team tomorrow. Have a good weekend

Interesting point on the A2 Peter, I recently had a good look at the collection, especially the fascinating SA80 history wall, with its assorted prototypes, trials and issue examples. It was very informative to be walked through the alterations made through the years to the latest issue standard.

The chap who took me round has extensive experience of the type as you know and sang it's praise every bit as much as yourself!
