    My Last ride.
    B47E at RAF Station Upper Heyford, UKicon 5/17/1955 On alert on Armed Forces Day
    I had a couple of interesting missions in this type aircraft but we never broke one though we came close a couple of times. It was a very unforgiving aircraft, but a lot of fun to fly.

    An 8 gun hard nose B26B at K Pusan East !953. This is an unusual aircraft because it was equipped with a ventral (lower) turret.

    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 ...

    Quad fifty, always a favorite when fire discipline is required. At least the platforms of the aircraft had no trouble hauling ammo. Surprised they didn't run trays back into the fuselage and just feed from giant bins there. I guess the fuel cells are in the way in the wing root?
