A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

I'd agree, Blackpool Rock, Brighton Ice Cream or Skegness Fish and Chips.

In the years after WW2 one or two of the U.K. caravan manufacturers did use some parts that were salvaged from aircraft such as wheels, for example. I believe these would have been fighter landing wheels for the caravan's road wheels and possibly the tail wheel as the jockey wheel. Quite possibly other materials salvaged from aircraft found their way onto caravans with aluminium sheet being an obvious possibility.

The light pale green paint that the very first Land Rovers were painted in, shortly after the end of WW2, is said to be surplus paint that had been intended to paint the inside of British icon

WW2 aircraft.

Jim, a bloke I knew many years ago had previously worked in the Yukon. He told me the Yukon has four seasons - early Winter, Winter, late Winter and next Winter.

Jerry,
Welcome to the forum. If you are honestly trying to establish what you have there, and you don't intend to give out a prize for the correct answer, may I suggest you look for that tale tale Military ID plate hidden somewhere under that paintwork, if indeed it is Military Surplus.

With the slant at the front, it looks like a DROPS unit of sorts that went onto a six wheel body IMHO
