Pink Panther Land Rover

Good point about using current soldiers dressed up as old soldiers. But difficult to get sanctioned from on high. It was done for a big 10 gun Vickers MMG shoot several years ago and as suggested by Gil (thread 15) they went through a week of Vickers MMG gun drill training beforehand. They were pretty good too........ Only 3 stoppages in 40,000 rounds of ammo!

I know one of them who did this, (an Ex REME Armourer), real nice bloke, he was telling me all about it when he was instructing me on the GPMG........
