  1. I believe Pendine is also where someone famous was killed running a record attempt with a chain driven car, something like the Golden Arrow or similar, I have been on the sands it has an amazing history. TE Lawrence, also a Welsh man was fond of the Brough's. My great uncle was a Royal Marine Commando DR Despatch Rider used standard bikes in ww2 from D-Day but loved the Brough Superior for his own use. Fascinating to read your comment.

  2. That folding stock can bite the unwary when folding and opening out. I had to familiarise with many older weapons and current ones as part of a training program and nearly got bitten by it. Nice weapon to fire although the models i fired were L2A3 and L34A1 standard Sterling and silenced version not the Patchett.

  3. Stens and silenced Stens were also used in Vietnam by the US Special forces
