    I don't think you'd want US Customs to catch him with "pressure-bearing" parts in his luggage somehow.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    I could cry, not one photo of a Spitfire, Hurricane or anything Britishicon BUT I did get a photo of a P-51D Mustang, Germanicon FW-190 and possibly a V-2 rocket. (what are the lighting holes for?)


    Subject: Imperial war museum

    Hey dad,
    Check out these pictures from the museum. Can you tell what they are? I think you would've loved it there.

    The funny part is this British plastic model Matchbox FW-190 kit hung from his bedroom ceiling when he was younger, and he's asking ME if I know what they are

    Who's the painter? Really nice 1/72 Fw190!

    Best part of Duxford to me were the "live" WWII aircraft. No airshow, just random warbirds including a Bf109G w/ the Daimler engine (not the Spanish Merlin version) and an absolute thrashing of the airfield by a visiting radial engined Yak fighter of some sort. (The FAA would have had a stroke.)

    Maybe Gunner or Patrick Chadwick can give your son some tips on good Germanicon beerhalls.

    Who's the painter? Why air brush Ed of course (before my eyesight became chronologically gifted)

    Below my old hobby that helped me "unwind" rubber powered profile scale aircraft, these babies go together fast and flew like a homesick angels.
