When they revamped the Tornado into the "Super" Tornado, they also revamped the Telly and it became the Zephyr. There was a smaller break barrel as well, but I can't remember the name of it. (Quick Google search reveals it was the Relum Taurus).

A few years ago I was staying at a hotel in Wales for a few days and as an acknowledgment for doing a small repair on the lounge upright piano, I was invited into the kitchen for a couple of beers and to eat my Indian takeaway (it was October, so the hotel wasn’t doing evening meals)

Whilst I was sat at the table watching the telly in the kitchen, the picture went a bit wonky and the proprietor said it would be the rooks landing on the aerial on the roof and messing up the picture. To remedy the situation he walked over to the fridge where a break-barrel air rifle was propped against it. Out into the yard and he let off a shot dry-firing it to scare them off and that did the trick…

The rifle was a Relum ‘Telly’ and I thought it was so ironically appropriate that he was using a ‘Telly’ to fix the telly! 😉🤣

Haha!

Again, what an amusing little tale, Graeme.. All made possible by your many travels and your expert observations of the rich variety of humankind life, generosity and behaviour.

Long may these continue.

I know them as 'Jelly' , but cannot entertain with tales of dessert preparation involving unusual use of a barrel owing to absence of wooden spoon...

I've just acquired a 527 in a right shit state. Going to save it as a winter project.

Also a B2 with a adjustable trigger (Shanghai model something or other), and a daisy 1000 break barrel with possibly the worst trigger I have felt

Tellies and Jellies in terms of airguns were before my time.

I found an old add in one of the Airgun magazines and the Relum models were-

Super Tornado
Taurus
Zephyr
Rapide
Zip pistol

So it would be a Taurus air rifle I would be interested in.
