Don't worry, Hugh, it's not Austin at all, just a 'Morris Owner' magazine cover - suitably modified. Austin and Morris "Arabic" covers have both turned up recently.

Did they make left hand drive Chummies, or is that part of the modification? Perhaps it's supposed to be a Dixi.

No, English-made Chummies were all right-hand drive - it's just me being too lazy to bother swapping around the contents of the car. The Dixi was left-hand drive, but I lacked a picture of one taken at the right angle.

We had a dozen or so Martini-Henrys in the school armoury, but only ammunition for the Lee-Enfields - of which there were a great many. A couple of Bren's and a few sub-machine guns were also in stores. Don't know what happened to them, but they were all there in the mid-70's when I left.
