    I'm in! Royal Snail did the trick where modern technology (or me) failed.
    Filming at both firing point and butts would be a great idea. I wonder if anyone will do it?

    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 ...

    We hope to have BBC South there on the day.
    An old friend who works as a freelance cameraman, (mainly for the beeb) loves filming this type of event and has promised to pass the relevant information on to the news team.

    Mick, thanks for posting the original info, I had a great day out. I tried in vain to hire a WW1 uniform, but couldn't have collected it the day before the match due to being on shift. Did the Beeb camera man make an appearance? I saw the NRA guy filming, but I didn't see a TV crew.

    No they didn't get there Chris, my friend who films a lot of things for the BBC was tasked elsewhere on the day.
    Apparently they concentrated on community remembrance activities rather then the better things in life like Vickers Machine Guns.
    I believe uniform's were in short supply all round due to the weight of activities this year.


    I'm glad you managed to get there!

    Perhaps they might consider another similar event in 2020 for the 75th Anniversary of VE/VJ Day for No.4's, 4T's, No.5's etc.

    Doubt I'll still be around for the 100th Anniversary of that
