I thought some of you would be interested in this rather dated British doco, I prefer the company of eccentric people and this fella delights me.

Watch for the enthusiastic Retriever Dawg "oh goody we're going to murder some Birds again" LOL

"The Blighter" holding a Balloon (thankfully he let it go before his Lord nibs fired) for a moment I thought the eccentric ol Brit was going to shoot him as part of the doco.

"I'll go and changed before we go to the Cannon range" then he returns wearing much the same gentlemanly apparel with yet another Necktie.

What appears to be the neighbors Garden shed relocated to the Cannon range, being slowly disintegrated by the gentlemans 18th century 3 pounder Cannon ! Question, was "the Blighter' locked inside to lend some realism ?

Perhaps the Monty Python comedy series was based on fact after all.

 
Nice showing of parts of history.
Looks like he enjoys his Lancaster as I do mine.
Not sure about priming the pan before loading though…
Thanks for sharing.
