Finally managed to cut out my Pelican 3300 today for up and coming trips to Germany.
Quite pleased how it came out although not quite perfect! Kit should be nice and secure now for those longer trips for Boar etc.
Body shaped cutout?Hahaha
What the heck do you think the layer of foam underneath holds fella.
Just need to wirk out how we can stop mike loosing documents now
Indeed. Borrowed a friends last year having bashed up an aluminium case previously.
So impressed i bit the bullet and brought one a few weeks ago.
Hopefully it will last for many years

Hi Tony
Im aware of the ammo and have a little peli 1150 case which goes in my checked luggage. Allowed upto 5kg
The knife is an interesting one! Travelled from Manchester last year and 3 agencies/depts checked the case saw it and were ok as were the German/french authorities and that was police, security and army due to hightend checks after a security alert!!!
Will be travelling through Gatwick this time so will see how it goes.. I will ask them whete they would prefer the knife at check in.
thsnks for the pointer

I think Tony is remembering the same situation I encountered last year.
A week before I was due to travel, one of the guns travelling from Heathrow to Croatia to shoot boar had his knife in his rifle case. He'd already dropped his suitcase off, but when he was airside and Customs opened the case and saw the knife they told him that he couldn't leave it there and had to take it back and check it in.
The reason, apparently, was that if someone broke open the case before it was loaded on the plane they would have access to a knife (and yes, I know, there was a rifle in there, and that the case was locked). By the time the unfortunate hunter had got back through to check-in, packed the knife, and returned airside, he missed the plane. As a result he had to travel out for the following week's trip that I was on.
We were all warned to place any sharp objects in our checked-in baggage, something I wouldn't hesitate to do again!

I just hope we don't get the same clueless mob at Manchester this coming November, on the flip side Basel staff were class a class act.
