Ah good things come to those that wait, and wait, and wait, oh yes and wait a bit longer 
FINALLY I have an original tin and mask, at a considerably cheaper cost than the repro tins from keith 
Am so glad I don't have to sit and poor over every nations ebay anymore I was getting fed up of loosing out on the ruddy things, but now I am happy 
just gotta hope it wings its way here from Germany in time for F & O.
Bell Tent... modern version of the ones used in WW2... Display item from Springfields, so half price...
Its wet right now... I'm going to let them dry it out and pick it up in a couple of weeks.
Also Bell Tent Rifle rack and a Bren spare parts wallet.
Yaaaaah how much was cheap then or daren't you say 
It should have been £285... I've got it for £150
That is good does this mean your display will expand or is it purely to give you more living space at events ?
Erm... a bit of both... I'll probably sleep in it... but at Detling my sleeping area was actually on display so...
er we have quite a few tents available now... lol
a 160lber
about a dozen pup tents, all in wartime brown canvass. Some wartime dated, some with Mosquito Nets
my bell tent
small two-man "NCO" tent
Officer's tent
an arctic commando bell tent (not really suitable for our group to be honest)
Cool I really need to think about a bigger tent for next year, I keep being distracted by other things I want to buy, but pup tents whilst fine for sleeping in, leave me no room at events to do anything else in them
Must get bigger tent
Yeah I've been sleeping in pup tents most of the year... hence why this bell tent is so much more appealing...
the 160 is pretty good as well!

Here's some scans of one of them...
