Interesting trivia item: the Beer Keg modification saw Official Sanction (ie: Approval) as "Depth Charge Mk 30, Modification" and was actually printed-up in Official Reference materials at the time as exactly that.
For those unaware, even the Official Designation is itself an in-joke: "depth charge" means dropping 3 nips ("shots of Scotch" in American parlance) of whiskey into a pint of beer and drinking-down the resulting concoction in as close to one movement as possible.

Despite Dave's criticisms of his build, I greatly enjoy seeing this model in existence.
One of many "unsung heroes" (albeit unconventional) of its' era.

Somebody might find that "infobit" useful or interesting.

Kind and Respectful Regards My friends, Uyraell.
