If you’re keen to contribute, I’ve started a basic timeline below & sketched some initial basic ideas. Add a comment with your thoughts & if you can, tag them to a relevant section (eg 2B additional: blah blah) so I can update this post as a master list & eventually create a PDF of it for all of our future reference… Be aware I have little experience eg with gun or weapons recording so your help with specific advice there would be much appreciated.
