The old timers used to say they built ‘em by the mile and cut ‘em off when they needed to. My uncle had bought one just after the war, as a young boy I used to help him paint it. We managed to dig a few bullets out of it

My Dad bought one (MTB) after he got back from the War. It's still up in the Norfolk Broads.
