Just found you!

Dear Viggo - thanks for that note. It's strange how many folk seem to forget the debt we owe to our friends in the US when, as you put it, we were defenceless in the face of the finest Army the world had ever seen at that time. The best airforce, too,if the quality and experience gained in the spanish Civil War is taken into account. In the end we prevailed, but it took ALL of us to do it, and no one nation can truthfully claim that "we won the war". enoguh of politics, and I'll take this opportunity to let other readers know that, sadly, the Pattern Romm, being part of the MoD, is not open to the general public. It IS open, however, to the serious student of firearms to allow the study of specific weapons to be undertaken in production of a book or article, f'rinstance. Give 'em a call, they are a very helpful bunch, as anyone with with 1/4 million weapons must be.....


Best wishes
