I know about Wali as an inspector, repairer and disposer, at depot and service unit level. I was using these publications in the late 1950s, even though they had been superseded, first by RAOS Part 7 ( which was renamed RAOS Vol 3), reissued as RAOS Vol 3 and finally changed to RAOS Vol 4, which they are today..
While I was busy using the publications I was given, which were strictly controlled and updated at the time by hoards of National Servicemen and exchanged one for one, you had started a lifelong interest in acquiring publications and drawings from any source possible.
Such was your interest that while normal people were having a lie in, you were out in the pouring rain digging in the butts of some alleged WWI grenade range which someone had told you about, looking for bits.
I rest my case.
