Missile demil
Some time back I was allowed to play for a while with some local EOD guys at a demil facility in a former Warsaw Pact country. Thought you might enjoy some of the photos.

@ Chris, SA-3 (Goa) missiles. The wings of the start/booster rocket are clipped on after removal from the container, The triangular wings cannot be removed, therefore the bulb in the container.

@ US -subs; what a waste to destroy those SA-8(b) Gecko's, they could have been turned into very interesting cutaway models . An absolute bloody waste!!

There were other items that i would have liked much more. Some submunitions from some of the big missile systems which I've never had the chance to see, let alone play with. Unfortunately the task and situation would not allow me or them to clean anything to keep for history. Maybe next time.

Hi US-subs, I was just able to lay my hands on a PLP, so I've got one for my own collection now. At the moment I am very much interested in your current avator, the XM -53. If ever you have a "spare", please let me know. Do you have a cutaway drawing of the XM53? I am much interested in the workings and functioning of this AP submunition (No shaped charge I was told).
Regards, DJH

Ps; I just heard on the radio Washington is expected to get 75 cm of snow... a record since 1902 when they had 72 cm. How's the wheater over at your place?

DJ, I'm in Tokyo right now, getting ready to fly to a recovery site, so I have no idea what the weather is in MI. Not to bad here here though!

Don't remember if I have any spare Rook stuff or not, I'll have to dig when I get home to do taxes in April. If so it would only be the dummy body, I've only ever seen 1-2 of the complete ones with the impact plate. Then of coure there is also the half size, which was the toxic versions, the Umi and the Gumi. I don't make this stuff up, I just record it.
