Civilian History: I acquired this GN in February 2017 - little is know about its history following demob, other than I am the 3rd owner.
The restoration ethos for me with this machine was to do make the best job I could as they are so rare I wanted it to be the "standard" for reference. To this end I gave Rupert Ratio the motor for a full rebuild to standard military specification. In addition, I have used 95% genuine nuts and bolts to ensure originality.
