It was my home for a year. I got similar pics of the bateleurs firing, but quality is bad as it was taken with a mik and druk.

Those Bateluers are awsome!

No G6?

Nice pictures  :thumleft:

I was also somewhat involved with these during '78 - '79.  Did you go to Smitsdrift with the initial testing ?

Names which come to mind: Capt. Skalekamp; Loot Harrison; Bom Boje; Samjoor Viljoen(mad mad bastard) and Staff Flippie (Q-stores)
