The Bullet In The Wall ( Stavelot )

[Danmark]

Oh yes, the La Gleize Tiger.... they knocked that together at the REME workshops from surplus landing craft and dozer parts in '46 to boost the flagging post war tourist trade.

.... EVERYBODY knows that! !!!

Nice one Martin.... why are there so many "EXPERTS" out there....and I use the word very loosely....Matt

I don't understand your point Martin ?
I am aware of the history of the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of Stavelot.
RawlPlugs can be quite large Martin depending on the diameter of the bolt you are inserting into it. They are used quite often in roofing and cladding on buildings.

Yes, as you say its a bullet

The Russians aiming for the window were poor shots, weren't they?
I'd feel pretty safe if I were in that room!!

I was having the same thoughts myself, I am surprised they didn't put a HE round through it
