LMAO I thought the same
yep, seen those monsoon capes, jay jays had one in a while back, thought about getting it as the colour is right but the one they had was nylon.
been and had a look today, its the right colour but its nylon and dated 1965.
Dunno if I'd class that as "showing off" ......... sure the queen would agree (not in the way obviously you chaps are thinking )
look at the smile on his face though.... he knew what he was doing

yup. Fantastic. 
What's the deal with the canvas looking shoulder patches that the guys in the BEF reenactment photos have on ? I haven't seen those before.
They're paper gas brassards that changed colour when gas was detected.
Yanks had them at d-day as well.
.....and they were dumped pretty much after that as it became clear that gas was not a threat.
yup.
So not really an essential bit of kit then.
indeed... but seen in most BEF pics.
For those blanco addicts amongst us, there's a guy on the re-enactment forum selling pea green blanco, (suitable for early war, if you didn't already know), http://www.wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/v ... 49&t=53252 also for those going RAF he's doing RAF blue/grey blanco http://www.wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/v ... 49&t=53251
Ah, that's long awaited! I shan't bother as I won't get one in time - meh, I'll probably only be wearing a belt anyway.
I have some of the blanco on order, should be with me soon. First batch went quickly, he is making more but I do not know if will be available in time.
Pucks arrived in post today.
They are wrapped in original style packaging.
They are pea green and crumbly and taste like Blanco.
Pucks have a pheon on them.
Might be weekend before a get a chance to try ot on my webbing though.
Got to try it results seem OK
Yes, that looks pretty good.
I've got some on order as well.
