French gun emplacement on the Maginot Line if I am not mistaken. Customized by the Germans on their way through.
A Rare Example Where An Engineer Thought About The Mechanic. (Daf-Domburg Diesel From 1949. Made In The Netherlands)
Shirley Slade Was One Of More Than 1000 Women Who Had Been Solicited By The U.S. Government To Enter An Intensive Seven-Month Training Course That Would Make Them The First Female Pilots To Enter The Air Force
Severe pilot shortages of World War II led to the recruitment of women into the Air Force. By recruiting women, the Air Force could maintain delivery of aircraft, ferry supplies, and perform other non-combative functions that fueled the war efforts.
Collectively, the group would become known as WASPs: Women Airforce Service Pilots.
As the war wound down, men returning from combat took the WASPs' places as active-duty pilots.
Slade was trained to fly the B-26 and B-39.

Now the RV generators are mounted there and the ISX is rear mounted with a "very generous"
access port under the bed. When I ran a shop, labor rate was $25 higher and techs were paid a bonus to work on them.
Also don't forget to replace the Trac bar every 5k miles so you don't get the death wobble on the highway and die.
For being out there for months and almost starved to death she doesn't look burned. Get that woman a sammich!
Looks like a noise maker at an indoor range for sure.Why? Just why?
We had a veteran a few streets south of the fire station. He would slip to the floor and couldn't get up. Over 90 years old and still a very big man. Over 6 feet tall and what looked like size 13 shoes. His wife would call us just to get him picked up off the floor. The first time we were there he was sitting up against the bed. Two of us got him to his feet. The engine Captain was in the hallway, and said "sir are these your things in this other room?" He said "yes, that was a long time ago". Airborne, D-Day jumper, bronze star, purple heart (maybe more than one of each). Then she would apologize for calling us. We told her "ma'am you call us any time, day or night. In fact, if you need us to bring you a meal, mow your yard, trim trees, anything you need, here is the number to the fire station." We picked him up several more times over the coming months. Sadly I think he passed a couple of years ago.
I have been on the FD long enough that I got the opportunity to take care of many WWII vets. I got to hear some terrific stories in their homes as well as in the back of the ambulance.
One other home, same deal he just needed help up. On the wall we're black and white photos of P-51's. I asked his wife "did he pilot a Mustang during WWII?" She said "yes, don't get him started". Well we did, and we took a knee in that man's living room. Unfortunately we had to clear up the Engine, after being on location for over 20 minutes. We could have stayed there all day and listened to him.
A suppressor on a revolver shows the person knows dick about revolvers, and less than dick about how suppressors work.
That's a gas seal revolver it will work swimmingly well cheerio!
It must work. I've seen them used in movies.

And if they really knew about revolvers and suppressors they wouldn't make that comment. They would already know that it does work on gas seal revolvers like the Nagant.
We had a gentleman roll into the ER once that had been in a car wreck. Xrays showed an object next to his heart with no signs of recent injury. We asked him about it and it was a bullet he got in Korea. He said he earned it and it was going with him to the grave. Nicest dude you would ever meet, very gracious and polite to the team even though he was in obvious pain from the accident. Wish everyone was like that instead of yelling and trying to throw shit while I was trying to put in IV's or otherwise help them out.
I yield. I didn't know that revolver was a gas sealed revolver.
are there any others?
