    Sounds good should get all this sort of stuff in schools and bring it to life for them

    Wouldn't know where or how to start. I do think your right though, it's OK being taught something with a lecture but seeing something adds that bit extra, a picture paints a thousand words and all that

    Lol, a bit like that, used to do the military shows like war and peace in Kent. I have a wartburg 353, an old east German car done out like a stasi surveillance car and my dad has a uaz 469 done as an East German boarder patrol car. Was a living history group, so just talk to people about cold War history. Another bloke in the group had a full field kitchen and would use it to cook for us at the show, another bloke had a Russian armoured car. People collect all sorts lol.

    @RossM just seen this and it's an interesting part of the cold War history, if your interested the cold War, cold War conversations podcast talk to a guy in Northern Ireland that found a ROC bunker in a field talked to the land owner and ended up paying £10 for a 10 year lease on it with a view to restore it. I was in a cold war re-enactment group before I moved and there plenty of cold War sites you can visit, there's a ROC bunker near Truro that do a tour (doesnt take long to look round) but it's fully kitted out, the bloke that does the tour used to be ROC and its a fiver and gives a good account on what it was like as a former member of the ROC. Or if you want nuclear bunkers there's a few dotted around the UK, York, Essex and Scotland that still do tours that are all worth a look

  16. Ferret Re-homing thread - Free to good homes ONLY

    They are albino and one silver all male and all have been done as well. I have to move to a flat and can't take them with me. I have used them for ferreting this season and they are good lads, don't really want to part with them but I have no choice. They are all handled daily and don't bite (only rabbits) they are between 1 and 2 years collectively. Pm me and I can whatsapp pictures of ferrets and hutch. I can sell you the 4 tier hutch if you need it but it's quite large so you may need a small van or pick up to collet that.

  19. Best Beginners Air Rifle For Around £300?

    I'd reccomend after all the guns iv owned - a new HW99 and give the piston a good polish and fit TBT spring guide kit and still have change for a nice mil dot scope and pellets. Learning to shoot a springer well is good for learning marksmanship skills too.

    For the scope is the hawke eclipse 3-12x50 ir mil dot or hawke eclipse 4-16x50 mil dot the better for small game as I have no idea about the ranges etc for hunting small game and am a complete a mature at using a rifle these most likely seem bone questions but like I say I have no clue. More used to using a ferret and net lol.

  22. Best Beginners Air Rifle For Around £300?

    Weihrauch Hw99 is under £300 new and well up for that. With the quality to last for decades.

    Or go for something second hand.

    And you should have enough change for a decent scope and mount.

     

    I would make yourself familiar at a local airgun club first though. Like minded individuals, good banter and people willing to let you use their guns, so you get to know what handles well for your frame.

    There are lots of quality makes and some reasonable budget models too. But the budget models may make you regret your first purchase.

    Air Arms, Weihrauch, Walther, RWS are some of the premium stalwarts.

     

    Notice I haven't mentioned calibre, get yourself to a club and see what you think. I have always shot .22 but .177 is just as valid and cheaper.

     

    .22 will be more fun if you are shooting cans and actions figures in between hunting. .177 goes right through but your target goes with a fair crack and jump with .22

     

    All the best

    Thanks for the help gives me a bit of an insight
