When I want your opinion - I'll tell you what it is!
Jay/ Steven can you post what you have?
Also we'll have to bob to Derby and pick up whats at Davids Studio .
I suggest we group the stuff by function?
Comms Stuff
Field phones , Enigma machine etc
Pyro Gear
Det gear , pyro and cables etc
Mortars and Ancillaries
Shells , rounds for mortars
Mine detectors and period radio packs , don't know if these are ours or Davids ?
Other
Drop canisters
Drop Barriers
Modern ammo boxes
Air raid siren
Flags
Signage
TBH much thought is lets thin this lot out. If we keep it all in clumps by function , rather than bring everything we can decide to bring it in sets ?
So if we want to do a game with the mortars bringing them is down to one person , not four of us remembering to bring different bits and pieces.
also suggest that we ditch the bigf PITA props, both the allied drop canisters and the drop barriers date from Eagle has landed , and are both past their best. Modern metal 81mm mortar ammo boxes look and are crap , and again do we need them . We aint doing treasure hunts , and frankly the odd nice wooden one would suffice . A couple of Jerry cans would be useful, but a lot of players now have the nouse to bring water , and all those plastic tarps 
Flags are useful as set decking but regen on the flag has had it's day in my opinion, the rolling 20 minute regen is easier .
thoughts anyway.
Bin the barriers and the 2 drop containers that Dave has. Let's see if Josh wants them?
I have some more space for stuff if required.

I've updated the first post with what i've got.
I'm happy to keep all the comms gear here, and the mortars plus ancillaries. As to what we bin or keep, i'm of the mind that we keep the smaller functional props and bin the larger "set dressing" ones.
Speaking of functional props, as my german coms collection is being sold (collected it all, bored with it now, going to sell it) may I suggest that out of the current cash we have in the bank we get some more D10 and a couple of the cheap british cable reels. In addition to that, i've added several more Czech PT25's that I own to the CiA stash, so we now have 6 of them that can be used. We could also do with some small, cheap, wooden ammo boxes for mortar rounds.

I've been through the stuff I have in the studio, I'll go through the garage at the weekend.
So, the list below will be added to.
2 red material 'flags' on sticks
2 minefield signs (ex F&O)
2 Parachute Drop containers Extra Large
1 box of limbs
Misc lab bottles, rack
2 x Dutch sign posts 1 x French sign post
Misc signs, finger boards
By the way, those field telephones were a nightmare at Horn - it took ages to get them working on the table and when they were eventually run out there was no comms, so functionally useless in game. Suggest a period-style instructional sheet /clip board check sheet to explain what needs to be wired where. One or two of the phones wouldn't work no matter what they did.

Cheers for the heads up David. I checked them before packing, so god knows whats going on there, will check them again.

I'm quite sure it's just down to unfamiliarity - players never having used them before. Eventually Yith managed to get a pair working (the only person who had a clue how to wire them) but when connected at distance, no coms. A simple check list for players to follow should make it a breeze.
Post updated to reflect what I've picked up from David today.
