You didn't see the woman's face looking at the Xray scanner, it was a picture Shocked Laughing
She did a double take and was moving her head side to side trying to work out what it was while making a really odd face Rolling Eyes

OK it was hold luggage not hand luggage but a couple of years ago I flew with my front beam axle from Edinburgh to Heathrow. It was wrapped up
but looked quite like a gun. Needless to say that guy who was shot for carrying a table leg was prominent in my mind. Shocked

Used to have a special device for lifting computer readings from bowling lanes. The US manufactured supplied it in a gun case. You can imagine the trouble we had at security. My son put a sticker on saying 'this is not a gun' bad move... the only word that anyone read was gun.

a bonnet from what I think must be a 30s MG, complete with fine bonnet catches. Anyone got an idea which MG this is off?

Hi Rick,

I think that's from a Y type.
