Spitfire guns fire after 70 years in the bog!


Recommended Posts


Awesome.

 

One of my mates always tells the story of when he was a kid, him and a couple of his mates were messing about on the moors just outside Glossop and recovered a large machine gun from an aircraft that had crashed a few years before towards the end of the war.

They decide to take it home and clean it up, so between them they start to haul it back over the moor.

They then get a bit hissed of with carrying it, and realised they will probably get a rollocking of their dads, so they toss it away into another boggy marsh!

He doesnt know whether it has ever been found by somebody else, but he swears its true!
