    If anyone else saw the programme on the SOE agent Noor Inayat Khan- what was the pistol apparently used by her in training?
    I'd never seen one like that before, calibre? Perhaps 22 and number of rounds in the magazine?

    On show at the Imperial War Museum
    Webley pistol used by Noor Inayat Khan, who was the first female SOE
    wireless operator to be sent to France. She was betrayed and captured in
    1943 and was executed at Dachau concentration camp in September 1944.
    She was posthumously awarded the George Cross.

    Soren,
    Another excellent work and a great tribute to the woman herself.
    After reading the article, you cannot but admire her determination and bravery:poppy:

    You know that I'm biased with the Andree Borrel drawing.
    Any luck with Szabo?
