We're coming round in a complete circle............. Rhodesia Army....... almost back to the dreaded ZF, or Zimbabwe Forces as the dealers like to tell us!
I'm sure I was offered an "only dropped out the back of a C47 once" ex Dublin Police and Zimbabwe Forces surplus No4 when I started shooting years ago....
Despite its heritage, I decided to pass ....
Back in the days before the tinterweb, when all the summers were hot and life was in Black and White, it used to be difficult for mere enthusiasts like us to access information, other than spend a small fortune on reference books.
The enormous information resource that's available today here on Milsurps, thanks to the like of Peter, Roger, Mike and many others, is an absolute treasure chest to me and many others .. Certinly stopped me from making more than one potentially very expensive wrong turn in the past....

That is probably the funniest thing I have heard in a while, but man I feel you. Before milsurps anyone could have fooled me with rubbish like that, and well they kinda did. People on here have saved me a lot of time and effort.

Thank you all for your input, shame it didn't read JB/007 as I could have sold it for a fortune
