550 forum posts 190 photos	Not quite as rare as some would have you believe - when I was working in India (Tamil Nadu state) there were huge stocks of Whitworth and BSF bolts and screws of all descriptions available in the engineering suppliers shops. I brought some back with me, mainly BSF as they are the difficult to find ones. There is an Indian 'Unbrako' subsidiary factory still operating in pretty much the same way as the Royal Enfield motorcycle offshoot got overlooked by the administrators when the UK parent factory went bust. Unfortunately my luggage allowance was only 45kg! But as the outward trip involved Bacon, sausages, and beef steaks (vacuum packed and deep frozen), plus decent cheddar cheese, Jacobs crackers and piccallili, plus some decent loose leaf tea (M&S Gold No. 3) plus Daddies brown sauce I had plenty of room for assorted tools to return. Regards, Martin
