I have added a 25pr recuperateor filling / pressure stencil to my gun. Based on some original photos. The recouperators are filled with oil and compressed air to a pressure of 600 psi. The recuperator allows the barrel to recoil in a controlled way and then run back to its original position each time its fired.

New book just released, shame its only in Italian for now but I have my name in the credits and some photos in the book. Hopefully a signed hard copy is on its way thanks to Davide Minardi the co author. Look up Davide he is on facebook if you would like a copy. Its a follow up to his previous excellent book on the P59 box.

For the first time in nearly 30 years of ownership I had a flat tyre on the Quad last weekend at the Warrington Armed forces event. Thank fully it was soft when I arrived and went flat shortly after. I have always carried a spare but its been in my mind to replace it for many years, as its a 9 x 16 that suits the gun and limber but not the Quad at 10.50 x 16. That is how it was done wartime. So it has finally prompted me to get my act together and sort out a proper spare. I already had a rim so that was shot blasted and painted and new tyre innertube and flap fitted. Also new tube and flap in the one that went flat. I have to say I was impressed with my new bead breakers. Saw them being used on a youtube vid, surprisingly not expensive either.
