    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.

    Wow, that metal Storm sounds like electricity jumping off a transformer when fired haha. Simply amazing that many projectiles are fired by computer one projectile at a time that quickly. Thanks for sharing cinders, mind-blown. That has to be the future of upcoming weapons. No brass, no powder, no primers, no headspace to worry about, not anything but tubes and a computer! So many components and materials saved by that technology. Interesting times we live in for sure

    Meanwhile BAE supply technicians and weapons for the Saudi Tornadoes to bomb the Yemen with, then the UKicon sends aid and delivers on UN programmes to help the war torn Yemenis.

    The arms trade is a paradox!

    You wouldn't think that the law would need changing because one would assume that it was already covered by the official secrets act.

    “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.

    These are intelligent men, selected from the best at the time, to be our front line fighter pilots.
    They clearly still have a lot to offer, but surely not to our future adverseries.
    Forgetting about the Official Secrets Act and other serious laws to infringe.........its common sense why you shouldn't be assisting them!!
    £250,000 wage a year is nothing compared to the loss of even one of our young, or indeed ANY NATO pilots life in the future as the South China Sea conflict builds, having taught them tactics!!
    Can't help thinking someone must have signed this off as OK to do at MOD!!
    IMHO we should open the Tower of London!!
