I’ve just bought the tail fin from a soviet era missile, does that count?

Not without pictures.

This help? https://www.dandbmilitaria.com/soviet-r-23-apex-mi...

Sorry can’t save picture from website. And no, I’m not a Walt, I just liked it.

As the old saying goes "careful what you wish for" I'm now regretting asking for pictures. That's a lot cheaper than I was expecting! I wonder what results I'll get if I search Wish for Soviet Missile? I think I best go to bed before things get silly.

I clicked that link and soon found myself looking at all sorts of decommissioned pistols and rifles... that’s a dangerous site!

I’d like a tornado drop tank as well from https://www.trinitymarine.co.uk/shop/raf-tornado-g... only £750! But nowhere to put it, although I did think about getting one and burying it nose down in the garden, a bit like the guy in oxford with his shark in his roof. Not neighbour acceptable, according to the Mrs.

Stretch the budget a bit and this looks much better...

I wonder how long the prison sentence would be for taking this near Coningsby or Waddington and firing it up...

I would think better than driving into central London under a cover and then unveiling it....

Tyres look a bit flat though.

It would be good if it whirred a bit, puffed a bit of smoke and had some flashing lights whenever cold callers, religious nutcases, and generally unwelcome interlopers wandered up the drive.

Cream of 1970s tech. If you can power the hydraulics, I think a Raspberry Pi would cope with tracking the Jehovah.

Is it a previously operational Field Standard A or a training/show dummy model? Anything under the radome? You won't "fire it up" without the generator trailer and without the yellow bar you won't "shoot" with it

I don't think I've ever wanted anything more than that in my life.
My son would love that.

Two very dangerous opportunities to buy stuff with those site.

Both bookmarked. I know where my evening is gonna be spent tonight.

Luft has arrived. It's a lovely thing in the hand!

Are CO2 guns not prohibited now?

No.

Wouldn't have taken long to check, either.

Sorry I'd read the law had changed in 2004 and it said " illegal to sell, acquire or transfer an air weapon that uses a self-contained gas cartridge"

I thought these fell under that which concerned me as I'd got a walther CP99 in the loft.

I read 2250 litres and thought that would make a great water butt stood on end in the garden.......
Then i looked at the length. 6.7m might just stand above the hedge a little (and the house )

I needed a more modern replacement for a 3 cylinder 2005 citreon C1 as a Tip run/ City car the only stipulation was it had to have isofix for our wee one.

Went out looking for a cheap VW up or something and just bought this instead , just have to explain to HQ
