Here is a couple of more unusual items for xmas. Flare gun dated 1917 by Webley & Scott and a presentation of a key to Pegasus Village to 2/Lt Radford R.E. Pegasus Village M.E.L.F. 1953. Anyone know what M.E.L.F. represents? Cheers Brian

This is about Pegasus Village in ALdershot, Hampshire UK perhaps a village was built in the MELF area - possibly on Cyprus?

I thought the key may have been for construction of the village but after googling it found it was already there. There may well be another Pegasus village. Cheers Brian
