    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 wished my co workers Happy D-Day when I got to work today. They are all former military so they actually know what that means.

    I live every day in gratitude of what our combined Forces did on that day. It certainly stopped Hitler finalising the equivalent to an A Bomb using rocket technology and even reaching the United Statesicon. We'll never know the truth, but he was close to producing something that would have changed the final account I am certain, and we probably wouldn't be sitting here on a PC talking freedom stuff and we certainly would'nt be shooting weapons on ranges!!

    Greatest generation ever - on the field of battle, innovation of new technology, work ethic in manufacturing and creation of logistical support systems. A generation that was actually able to perform as a team at all levels.

    Today was a beautiful sunny day here in Franceicon. I was cycling with my daughter this morning and we rode past a field full of red poppies.
    So I recited "In Flanders Fields" as we rode past.
    Although I did not get to the range this weekend with the ex-Resistance No4Mk1.

The Germans developed the first printed circuit in the world contained in the aerial land mine called "GEORGE" by the Vernon personnel, it was discovered by accident through a mine destroying itself on the docks without detonating the info is in the book "Softly Tread The Brave" By Ivan Southhall.

    But doomed they were thank god I would hate to imagine those two regimes ruling our world yes I too thank those that stayed the course and went where no person should have to go to rid of us of those evils.

    Terrifying thought..............wasn't the circular concrete circle found with pillars and straps to hold a saucer down found in a wood in Poland many years ago??

    That is rather alarming Gil given the state of the recently released footage in the very early 2000's of the so called "Tic Tac's".
    According to the info contained in the book which is only brief development of the saucer was well ahead by wars end the men & materials actually falling into Russianicon hands.

    On seeing the footage of the anomalies it appears in one of them to have 2 appendages who knows what they were.
    Also they are surrounded but a sort of a glow but no heat signature perhaps using say a magnetic or perhaps a anti-matter type propulsion system.
    But what ever the reason they must have conquered the excessive acceleration as a human body would not withstand those G's you'd just be pulped what did the radar op say (60 Minutes program) from 28000 feet down to wave height in .25 of a second.
    And the scary thing is the Tic Tac went to the rally point known only to the very top honcho's and the fighter pilots from the carrier and the land based fighters that were to engage in the war game what ever the reason if the beings have got this technology we better pray they a peaceful.
    Hollywood paints a picture of us always winning however I beg to differ as any being that has managed what they can do then what chances do our standard weapons systems have even rail guns and lasers wont help and to use nukes they'll do the job on us regardless of extra-terrestrial intervention.
