Centurion Video

We have just uploaded a new video of the Centurion running at War and Peace this year.
Congratulations - the Cent looks the part. What a magnificent model.
Now - will Thomas Benedini be able to provide seperate sounds for the .30 coax and the .50 RMG? The latter was quite distinctive. If it was used as intended as a ranging machine gun, it fired in three round bursts. The clever Aussies however fiddled with the solenoid and used it as a proper coax MG to great effect. I remember showing the inside of my Chieftain to an ex US Air Force Mustang pilot who went into extasy seeing the .50 Browning. He said he had six on his P-51 and thought it was very effective.
We didn't tell him that it was used as a ranging machine gun so when it only fired three rounds at a time, all tracer, and we told him it was an economy measure to save ammunition, he looked at us and offered to buy us a few hundred rounds. Very generous...........
