Was a very special experience
Especially on this special day of the end of WW1 (that was not planned)
But now she goes back in the safe after a thorough clean- I'll shoot it at most once a year... maybe.

If one "missed" ejection. Have a good look at the ejector before putting it away (that's a major sin to me, as you surely know by now

). I only start having "failures to eject" shortly before the ejector breaks.
