    Don't know without having a proper play, John.
    I'd say spring first. Then, if that didn't work, maybe borrow a trigger unit from another gun and see if that helps.

    Of course, Mel could always just omit the safety catch anyway and job done, but I think he prefers it back to how it should be?

    How awesome is Mick? -- He only arranged an Avro Lancaster fly-past for us on the Sunday!

    And no, it wasn't on it's way to or from an air show, I checked.

    Lancaster!

    Yes, it certainly was a most splendid surprise, Phil.

    Must admit I did feel a bit hesitant about pointing my rifle at it so as to get a better look at it through the scope!

    Awesome it was, awesome!

    How's the back doing, Phil?

    Not so bad, thanks Tone.

    Those motogp commentators we were talking about - of course you were right about the long-standing Toby Moody, with Julian Ryder, on Eurosport. I got it wrong, sorry. Don't know what I was thinking...

    The 'less than able' commentator I was thinking of (who only had the motogp job for a few races in 2009), was Carlton Kirby. He's the one who does the cycling tours, and the Le Mans cars... Carlton 'keep it sensible' Kirby...

    Yep, Kirby's commentary was sleep-inducing and very poor indeed young Phil.

    But I did used to love the jolly banter of the intrepid duo of Toby and Julian.

    I do hope your back IS a little better matey and that you're not telling little porkies.

    That Avro Lancaster was actually a B25 bomber but thanks for arranging it Mick.
    Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level & then beat you with experience.

    Er Guys.... if Papa's correct on this and I've no reason to doubt him, why did the Quigley Collective mistake an American twin engined, mass produced, twin tailed medium bomber from Roy Chadwick's four engined Masterpiece ?

    John- Do you recall the small singe engine low winged plane we saw and I commented on?

    I felt sure it was a Hurricane with the broad rounded wingtips (Spitfire more pointy wingtips!)

    More like a Hurricane than a Spit but there was talk among the Guys back on the shooting line when we returned.
    There are less flying Hurricanes than Spitfires so to see one flying is mega rare !

    I thought it was a hurricane too. But the person I mentioned it to didn't think it sounded like a merlin. Can't think what else it could be though. I think that there are about 8 airworthy hurricanes around. As opposed to about 55 spitfires. And that number is rising

    No problem Papa.

    I'm glad that you identified it for us --- I was unsure and thought it was just a big Fokker.

    The Lancaster is huuuuge compared to the B25 and a lot louder. But does it matter, thanks for the fly past
