I seized a BSA Bantam when I was 15...well I got the blame for not buying 2 stroke from the right pump
Bike belonged to a guy called Kevin Adams, lived two doors down and he and I played guitar/bass together.
He must have been better than me 'cos he ended up in Dexys Midnight Runners (known as 'Billy the Kid' then).
Fired SLR 7.62, SMG 9 mm: had a negligent discharge with on on a range one day when I failed to cock it correctly. Horrible moment that was having to raise my hand, from prone position, to say 'It was me'.
Fired the brit issue 9mm browning pistol too.
Drove through an impromptu German Police roadblock in a AFV 434 (tracked recovery vehicle) without stopping on the way to recover a bogged down Scammel recovery truck and a Scimitar also bogged down.
Once whilst driving down an Autobahn in same 434 saw a blue articulated lorry come alongside my left to over take, tracked vehicles have a tendency to drift due to unequal track lengths so constant adjustment is required.
tTapped the right tiller to correct drift to the left, looked in mirror and truck was dropping back. 'Odd' I thought.
40 miles later we took a break, pulled over into a rastplatz and did the usual walk around to make sure nothing had dropped of or was about to, noticed the armoured brackets down the left ahnd side were flattened and had blue paint on them...oops!
Adjusting direction whilst the lorry was coming by had caused the 439 to twitch it's back end out and hit the lorry. Must have made one hell of a mess of the lorry...but I didn't feel a thing!
We had a past time in Germany driving the AFVs, kerb stone flicking. If you clipped a kerb stone just right it would flick it out of it's foundations like a tiddly wink. Dangerous but a good point scheme .
