Re: WW2 British Airborne units, did any use M20?

Trevor, rivets are soft (mallable) iron, cast would break at the sight of a hammer! But I agree with you on getting things "correct" if you can, I just wish I could do it with my bikes, one day.

It was my understanding that they had to wait for the Hercules before they could find an aircraft that could take off with the weight of an M20 on board:wink:

I think what Trevor is refering to is the tool to set and form the rivet heads. We might call it a Snap or Dolly. Ron

Re: WW2 British Airborne units, did any use M20?

Yes, you are right, sorry Trevor. But hammers from cast iron? Incedently I've always know the tools as a "snap" on the outside and a buck on the inside, am I wrong again?
