Sten Sling and British OR's Tie
Lotta Svard broochs very nice they are, and all with a little help from a friend in Finland 
Called in at Anchor Supplies today (with daughter who was looking for used German para type boots instead for Doc Martins - very poor selection of boots at Anchor these days, knackered goretex boots for £75?) and picked up a couple of hurricane lanterns to add to the boxful, couple of towels, couple of white enamel mugs, four enamel plates and two landrover chairs. The whole lot was £34 so there ARE bargains to be had at Anchor but it's nothing like it was years ago!

Was that the Nottingham or the one that's out Ilkeston way? If it's nottingham, i'm looking in entirely the wrong places as all i can ever find is modern chinese crap.
Ripley depot - and yes it's Chinese crap (mostly) 
Still, ex-army landrover chairs for £2.50 each and ex-army towels £1.50 can't be bad!

Just out of interest Alex, if you're after a Mae West, wouldn't it look a little out of place without the parachute pack and reserve chute?
my "on loan" gordon highlanders kilt from stof, cheers sandy, a nice belgian beer will be in your hands at the dunkquirk game.
RECEIVED: My M1A1 Carbine from Doug. Stunning piece of kit, feels awesome. Will debut it at Gulch.

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
Joseph Stalin, November 1942
The book "Unless Unless You Have Been There" by Paul J. Andert and Lowell P. Johnston.
