Certainly!
I'll add you to the group straight away.
The first PBI event is the Operation Varsirty one in March. There's still time to get booked in and time to get enough kit for it.
After all the only really destinctive bits are the maroon beret and denison!
Any questions... just ask!
thanks very much yith , will need info on locations for purchase of beret and denison , i have noticed SOF do them but know there quite expensive and kit sometimes poor quailty.
cheers

Beret... Soldier of Fortune for an accurate repro. Your local surplus store for a modern one... that won't look 100%, but isn't bad. I understand Shoot and Scoot have some. I'm not sure if they're the modern ones or repro WW2 ones though.
Denison... post war belgian from Shoot and Scoot.
Or... go here: http://wwiireenacting.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37527 for a SUPERB one for about £100.
cheers matey , will have a look , i already have a thommo , just need webbing and boots now then
Webbing, sabre sales. They can probably sort you out wiht DMS boots for about 20 quid too.
When you get he webbing tell them you want war pattern '37 webbing' with brass fittings and popper closures.
Tell them its to re-enact south staffords and you'll get the right stuff.

ok mate cheers , thanks very much .
