"The Owens were strange, ugly little things,..."

Now that just hurts.

Cheers,

Well, having seen a picture of you, Owen, I would advise sticking to flying and writing....I'm afraid the catwalk does not beckon

I'll scratch that one off my list! (....after the Calvin Klein shoot.)

By the way, I have actually been asked if I was named after the Owen gun, given Dad's background. However, you know the story on that one and Dad tended to use the Bren.

Well, why not?!

Had a little chuckle about your comment about Owens.

The picture on the back flap of your book really shows the effects of that Tiger windburn...

My favourite Owen picture:



AWM Collection Record: 016834 - Dutch New Guinea. 11 April 1944. Driver Robert Wynne of Victoria, swaps weapons, an Owen gun for a bow and arrow, with 'Henry', a Kaya-Kaya native man.

Sorry to open an old thread.

I have spent a lot of time trying to find scale , without any luck.

Would anyone know where to find them?

Thanks
