Cool. Your site has the Semple Tank too, right?

In the Wikipedia article it says "Approximately 1,500 Charlton Automatic Rifles were manufactured in New Zealand, and nearly all of them were destroyed in a fire at the Palmerston North service storage facility shortly after World War II". I lived in Palmerston North from the age of two until my family moved to Australia when I was six. My mum was a founding member of the local motor racing club.
