maxfaxdude Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) I received an unsolicited invitation from a big machinegun collector/dealer in the Midwest U.S. to go visit the MOD Pattern Room in Leeds. Has anyone here been there? Edited May 18, 2019 by maxfaxdude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black River Militaria CII Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 You would be a fool to not go it you have the time and resources and have even the slightest interest in MGs. The idea behind that collection showed brilliant foresight and it is one of the most comprehensive collections of MGs in the world and beautifully displayed. To spend some time there is a rare privilege. I met Herb Woodend, longtime director of the museum at its previous location, having met him on one of his trips to the US and regret not having made the effort to go and visit it when he was there. Quite a few people have been there for book research purposes and other reasons and have raved about the expereince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
