illustrated parts lists

[tom]

I'm trying to gather material for a database of 20th C Commonwealth illustrated parts lists. I've managed to aquire scanned versions of 40+ thanks to the genorisity of others, the Pattern Room and my own collection.

Does anyone have the following they are willing to scan in or lend to me?

Hotchkiss Portative
0.5" Browning with AA mount
Lifebouy flame thrower
F1 SMG
L2A1 LMG
Lanchester SMG
Boys AT Rifle

Also if any one has something really obscure like say a parts list for the Hefah or Besal I'd be profoundly grateful to hear about it.

Tom,

Are you interested in parts lists of commonwealth weapons, by non-commonwealth countries?

For example, I have an Iraqi parts list (1975) for the Vickers that was brought back from Iraq in 2003. I will send you a copy if you wish (I may have sent it already).

Cheers Richard but I'm trying to avoid mission creep this time so sticking to just Commonwealth IPLs unless they show some locally made accessories/parts that are not shown in the standard Commonwealth ones.

Mind you saying that I am a complete sucker for a well rendered exploded drawing!

Understand. I have some time put aside for a 'scanning session' of all the new manuals I have bought in the last year so I will send a DVD when they are all done.
