It has been suggested to me that the reason the German artillery?regiments had a ball instead of a spike on their helmets was so that they wouldn't poke each other's eyes out when bending?and rising to serve the gun. Seriously. Am I being taken for a ride here? That doesn't explain the Bavarian artille...

Having a struggle trying to identify this motorcycle used in the filming of 'The Blue Max' - i've ruled out Triumph model H, Clyno, Douglas and Phelon & Moore, i'm currently thinking BSA or Enfield?

Hi all, i'm on the lookout for?a model zeppelin - i've seen a very large kit (about 1/144 scale) but seeming as it's bigger than my student room, and very expensive, that's out of the question unfortunately. So i'm looking for something at about 1/1200 scale - i've seen that Navwar do a 1/3000 version wh...

Hello, In surfing the net just now I stumbled across a photo on EBay (here) of a Rolls Royce armoured car. (I have no ties to the seller.) This photo is new to me and I'd like to find out more. The seller dates the image to WWI. Based on the lack of armoured vent louvers in the plates protecting the radiator an...
