Looks like its been set up for when the ducks come back to the pond just the right height for grazing fire for take offs and landings..... do not know about the petrol cooling can with the fumes near the muzzle could be interesting Fire & Fry!

Of all the guns that I could - and did - shoot with monotonous regularity, I have to say that just a couple really wound my springs up. The Vickers MMG and the Thompson.

The last time that I saw a Colt Vickers was around 1970, the local Fire Dept called me and said that a large box with a machine gun had been turned-in to them. It had been taken apart and the parts were in the box. When I looked at it, I saw that it was a Colt Vickers and in 11mm Vickers caliber. I put it together for them and told them you would need a SPAD 13 or Nieuport 28 if you wanted to fire it, besides finding any 11mm Vickers would be very difficult !
While on the subject of the 11mm Vickers, was this caliber used by the British during WW1 ?
