Pam will remember our old Warrant Officer, Jim Gordon who used to work on the RAF version. ;)

He told a story of one being worked on while sitting outside the hangar and the guns going off, the projectiles went through all the offices at just above head height! :-o

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.
