    What do you think of my chest?

    L42a1 received the other day and now, slowing, I have been working on cleaning the outer paint off to reveal the hidden mysteries of the L42a1's past.

    Forgive my flippancy speckles, but 'What do you think of my chest?' is the stuff of Barbara Windsor & 'Carry On' films!

    And yes, I very much admire your rifle, transit chest & accessories.

    Twin peaks in Barbara's case, well worth a peek. ;-)

    Rule Britannia as the quick march of an infantry regiment. Fancy 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.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
