Laurie Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Really nice collection, thank you for sharing Darrel + 1 on that view. Lucky you on shooting the Bren - I missed out on that in my school army cadet days. A small group of senior NCOs / sixth formers had queered this pitch shortly before I joined the unit by shooting the barrels out on a couple of the guns that had been supplied by the local Black Watch regiment territorial battalion. (They did it by firing 28-round mag-load bursts followed by a rapid mag change and repeat exercise several times without bothering to change barrels!) On receiving the Brens back, the Terries refused to ever supply another to this particular ACF company - shame. I seem to be about the only 1960s era cadet around who didn't get to shoot one!

David TS Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Laurie Thanks! I also first shot a Bren (and Enfield .303) in the Army and Air Cadets in the 1960's. It has a lasting effect on you, no coincidence I now also have a .303 and a Bren! Shame you got denied it - my first and last stints on the Bren were some 45 years apart!!
