    Although it doesn't have the original BMW 801D-2 engine, it has a reasonable facsimile - a Russian Shvetsov Ash82T, so I'm sure it will sound awesome!

    I'm surprised Ausfree's ears haven't pricked up yet. He could be servicing his camera or Bofor.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Yeah, we have a real fully operational L60 Bristol Bofor anti aircraft gun up at Fort Scratchley. One problem though........................ammo is unavailable. We are currently looking around for the specialised tools needed to do maintenance on the gun. We may have to make our own, one of the members has an extensive workshop.

    Hans, a good fighter pilot. As for the 40/60, bofors gun, The fwd port single bofor was the designated stokers gun on Vampire, in my day. A lot of fun, but not a weapon for modern warfare. The last time the bofors was fired in anger by the RAN, was from Vendetta, during her time on the gunline, Vietnam. She fired upon sampans & other small craft, trying to transport arms & munitions down the coast from the DMZ. WBLC'S they were called, water borne logistic craft. The 40/60 was effective in this role.
    Vendetta fired 13,294 rounds of 4.5 inch main armament, and 414 rounds of 40/60.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
