A friend sent me a You Tube link for a charity fundraiser. This link was close by: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PjLpqWFFEo&NR=1&feature=endscreen. Even the ammo was in superb condition.

HONOURED MEMBER RIP
The gun that they fired was actually a composite of all the best bits of the eight guns that were recovered from the Spitfire, but it was still an amazing project.
As for the ammo, that was from Irish army stocks and not from the bog. It was probably made by FN as that was the last Irish .303 contract that I know of.
