Here is a list of props we will require, which I'll update as we think of more :D

1 V1 Rocket
2 Pyros to blow up said rocket
3 Some general road signage , not a lot required , probably re- use some of the Arnhem stuff?

open to further offers !

Possibles include

Sandbags and sand ?
Some form of road block idea? Rasing Barrier , etc
Bicycles
Supplies drops
Framed picture of CW ?
Tents for German base
Dutch id cards
Pram for hiding dutch weaponry in...
Field Phones, (not such a daft idea as comms over the site even with Uber radios is a bit duff. ) Cutting the lines might be fun as well
Period Radio sets attached to PMRs (or better)

I have one made up... I have the parts on the way to make a second one.

I just need to buy some decent radios! Or do I just use the Licensed ones I have?

I'm seeing Syd on the 13th May ot go through building a V1 . I'm not convinced it's best for him to do it, prop building requires a half decent workshop, and a lot of tools and meterials which I don't think he has . Still I'll give him some plans and see what he comes up with . If it's not working by second week June at least I'll have some time to bang one together myself .

The speed you "bang stuff together" I don't see a problem.

Syd can't possibly have a decent workshop... I just don't believe it.

Mind you he does keep on surprising me in various ways. lol

Hmmm, tempting ! . No real need for them at CR, but they would look flash as a flash thing .
We could use them ot order the takeaways perhaps.
Discuss more on Thursday the small budgte is disabling at the mo.

Is it Syd who's making it?

Why do I think it's going to look like the Blue Peter version of Tracey Island?
