    Dr Hook's A-Z of Gas & Air...

    Paddy (SP) How about a book, A4 portrait, glossy , full colour air gun guide?
    Your capable of taking pretty pictures, capable of producing a book & you own all the airguns that would be in it! If you do'nt have a particular model I'm sure people on here would'nt mind lending them for the "shoot" (I would!)
    You could check out the level of interest on this section, even take orders!
    So what say you? Why do I ask? I want to be "the hands" pointing to the technicaly interesting bits! Bet you've thought about it, eh?

    Few on here know this, but Paddy and I have many varied connections, mutual friends and things in common, going back 'many' years (including huge skeletons in our closets )... You want Paddy to produce a book? Well I'm sure he won't mind me posting this, so 'watch this space' as they say . ATB: Gareth W-B ... (Shhhhh, you ain't seen me, right ).

    It ain't rocket science - I write books for a living and do my own photography, so why do you think I've been building up my collection...



    ...Ok, OK - it's really 'cos I love guns...
    ...And if you want to be the pair of hands in the photos, I'd be happy to turn you into the latest Exmoor celebrity!

    I wouldn't get too excited - I haven't told you what you'll be holding yet - it could be in the section on what decaying carcasses look like!
