Was aware of that Walter & while I was working with both the Jock Guards & the Yorks I was allowed a skeg at their Sniper gear, pretty impressive & as it stands it's a British Soldier who's top of the latest Sniping table using the L115A3. I believe they've also got the AX50.

I did'nt know Malcom had set up that firm, Accuracy International. I thought he was the British Pistol Champion. Where's his test range. The nearest 1100 yard range to Plymouth that I know of is at Bisley.
Retlaw.

As far as I know that is the testing range for such weapons, but then when the guys get the kit in the field it opens up a whole lot more options for trialling.

Vreeland's cover was that she was supposedly reporting the day's event for Harper's Bazaar, from a lawned hillock, which provided a clear view of the route the Presidential cavalcade would take.

Vreeland's capri pants, taken to a Chinese laundry in the Upper East Side, New York city, November 23rd, 1963.

Beware of fakes.

Diana Vreeland was actually brought in to advise Jackie, on style and her clothes, and introduced her to Oleg Cassini, who mainly designed her wardrobe, for the time she was First Lady.

Wearing fake Chanel was asking for trouble, that fateful day in Dallas.

The President took the bullet, for her fashion crime.

Mrs. Kennedy Onassis hadn't been seen in public for eight months, until she threw a party in New York city, on 22nd August, 1989.

Diana Vreeland, doyenne of American fashion, passed away peacefully at her New York apartment, 22nd August, 1989.

She left instruction that her funeral would be held at St. Patrick's Catherdral, and she was to be interred wearing a navy Chanel jacket, and her white capri pants.

Aye I know Eric, I saw their footage & I'm sure I posted a link about it on here some time back. Classic Marksmanship.

I will be interested to see the results of this cover up when they are released(long after anyone involved is dead)....think its plain to see it was a CIA assassination.

cashman · 21-11-2011, 10:50

Disagree, could have been C.I.A./ Mob/ Lone Nutter/ even the Ruskies, never really know in our lifetime,owt else is speculation.

what a load of utter tosh,the laws of physics states that when an object is hit from a forward motion it causes the said object to recoil backwards,also it has been proved that there were at least 4 shots fired that day,one hit the kerbstone in front of james teage and the splinter cut his cheek,2nd one hit jfk in the throat area,entry wound in the back, 3rd shot shattered governer connellys wrist,and the final 4th shot entered jfk,s temperal lobe front left hand side,at least 1 shot missed the car,see jfk,s reaction to sound of shot in film shot by other bystander just as car turns on to elm street,LHO was a patsy who was set up from day 1, the assassination was a covert operation between the CIA, MAFIA and LBJ who hated JFK and could,nt wait to get the number 1 job,LHO was involved to some extent,he ws given the job in the texas school depository by a friend of sam gionella,whose girlfriend JFK was bonking,also at least 3 witnesses saw LHO down in the restroom by the vending machine 30 seconds sfter JFK was shot,not out of breath or sweating as he would have done if he had run down 4 flights of stairs, and yes this is my hobby and subject for the last 30 years,and i hope one day they will prove that LHO did not shoot JFK or it may have to wait till the LBJ private papers are released 100 years after his death,also jack ruby stated that the truth will never be known,he convieniently died of cancer,after repeatedly asking to be moved to washington to testify RIP JFK

Entirely agree. LHO was indeed the patsy, killed whilst the public were crying out for a culprit. Very convenient.

There are so many 'who done it' theories that it is difficult to choose which to believe.

Some theories appear so outlandish that their only purpose seems to add confusion.
eg - I recently read one where 'Jackie did it' - a small pistol in her handbag - that is the most incredible one I've seen.

As Cashy said - it is unlikely we will ever find out the truth, but the official version (Warren enquiry) has more holes in it than any rabbit warren.

groove · 21-11-2011, 14:48

The Oliver Stone film JFK goes a long way to show the absurdity of LHO being capable of being the culprit.

MargaretR · 21-11-2011, 14:52

I once saw a documentary about Lyndon B Johnson.
He was one nasty piece of work! I wouldn't put it past him having something to do with it.

Coco capitalised on the "mistake" and forgave Jacqui her heinous crime when she helped Maison Chanel launch a whole new line in widows weeds....
