| Hi guys We got a tip off on UOAMHQ from Tally Ho, that three VAM were in a Charity shop in Chester, but they were asking too much for them and a bundle of gear ( £50 ) . So Benny Bee and I teamed up. BB did all the contacting the shop, getting them put to one side etc etc So I enacted the rescue part of the mission as I live close to Chester. The main aim was to just get the guys at £4.99 each and then arm wrestle each other for who got what So yesterday off I toddled got to the shop and result !! …They had a half price sale !! never heard of that before in a charity shop So it made it much more economical to get the "jumble too". So here is the stash.£27. Benny Bee has now some items on his wants SOC & SOW list of kit and one of the Action Man . Tally Ho thanks for the tip off mate. Mission Charity shop rescue complete. 3 Action Man heading back to active service , 2 with Munrovian's and one with Benny Bee in Hertfordshire Take care Gunner | |

| Really the stuff that dreams are made of! Hope the year is full of more successful missions like this...Great work TH for the tip off and Gunner for the successful extraction! Makes me wonder how many other VAM are lying in charity shops across the UK waiting to be rescued... | |
