    Thumbs up Advisory Panel Addition (Mr. Ian Skennerton)

    On behalf of all of our members, I'd like to welcome Mr. Ian Skennertonicon as a member of our Advisory Panel (click here).

    Although it isn't necessary as his reputation precedes him, more details of Ian's accomplishments and a brief biography may be viewed by hovering your mouse over his name above.

    Ian has graciously joined our Advisory Panelicon, working along side Dr. Roger Payneicon, Peter Laidlericon and many other recognized experts within the broader Enfield collector community. We're looking forward to collaborating with him in coming months on a special project, a film documentary on the World War II Sparrow Force to Timor, as well as some other exciting and creative special projects, specifically oriented towards the military historical research and collector community.

    I'd also like to take this opportunity to once again publicly thank all of our Advisory Panelicon members, for their gracious help and support within the forums assisting the many novice collectors, as well as their contributions in writing articles and providing feedback that has helped the Knowledge Libraryicon become a major free reference source over the last four years, for the benefit of the entire collector community.

    Regards,
    Doug (Badger)

    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.

    Seconded.

    The documentary sounds very interesting. ' Hope we'll hear more about that?
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Welcome Ian, I think I've thrown as much money at your books as I have done with Peters! Worth every penny/cent.

    Hi there, welcome aboard!!
    So I can't spell, so what!!!
    Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
    Those who beat their swords into ploughshares, will plough for those who don't!
    Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

    Exclamation

    Hi folks ....

    We need some help ...

    Ian and I are looking for a few volunteers to work with us on the Footsteps of Sparrow Force Project, which we'll be discussing more about in the coming weeks.

    We need current members who reside in Australiaicon and also have, or would be willing to establish, a PayPal account.

    If you'd like to work with us on this project, please send me an email to badger@milsurps.com expressing your interest and outlining your background.

    Thanks in advance for the consideration ....

    Regards,
    Badger

    Received an email from Ian and he's indicated he's been delayed on his S.A. trip for a week, so I thought I'd pass that onto everyone.

    On his behalf, I'll be preparing some information and a posting on his "Footsteps of Sparrow Force" this weekend.

    Many thanks to all of you who volunteered to help us out ...

    Regards,
    Badger
