They are still in service (just - we've been extended for another 12 months) pending the introduction of the L144 rifle (a Savage built .22 with polymer stock and match sights). One of my 12 bores was built by Savage,it's a 1948 Stevens Model 311a,28" barrels choked at 3/4 and full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascoteer Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Those wondering about where Snoopy is up to... Well, I got asked to build a Wellington 1c for a good friend so that kind of got in the way. The RFI is here 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only document storage that I can remember was the cubby above the Nav Station (above and to the left of the Ecko 290 radar). The recess in question was used to store the two NOSEWHEEL chocks, known alternatively as tactical chocks on the original RAF Hercs. RAF mainwheel chocks, even one of them, were too large to fit in said recess. If I recall correctly there was one shelf located at the top of the recess where we put the aircraft padlock and key; next to a manual specific to the airframe; cannot recall the title or publication number.

I'm afraid you won't get a reply to this or any other post on this thread from the author (Ascoteer/Debs)because she is no longer a member of BM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I suppose everyone is entitled to their privacy, however there must be more to it than that! BM is a lesser place without Deb's insightful comments and often comical inputs. Cheers and good luck.. Dave 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggers Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 There is more to it, but unless Debs gives the ok, it's not for me to enlighten you all on the what, where and why I'm afraid . She is active on another place and will upload this and her Whitley thread in her own time on there,but until then I'm afraid you're Debless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever her reasons, can you just let her know that we all miss her and hope that she does have a change of mind, in her own time. Good luck Debs, wherever you are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
