Hi Sommecourt.
Yes it was a Heath Robinson affair. BUT it did work on flat and even ground. The carnage of the "Schu" imne was horrific, it did what I described, it "Shredded a mans legs and lower regions. Can you imagine the looks of disbelief when I described this to audiences in the past?
But if you think this was daft enough, you should wait till later, for there was something even dafter. and unfortunately, I have no record of this stunt. paying out £76 was bad enough to prove my point. When I got to the second stunt.
the company records stopped short at that point and i was not going to spend another £76. I think that the second of these, was an officers own idea. I shall never know!
