Interesting Dutch Vickers

Hi John,

Nice story. I also remember that the US army had so much spare parts available, that they were able to buid a number of new Bell helicopters from scratch.

Murray: The guys at the Dutch 'Geweermakersschool' were good craftsmen. They were also excellent refinishers, as most pistols were arsenal refinished every 7 years. So they had the skills and the tools to produce a pistol that looked better than new.
