Ooooooo... and on my birthday as well... Would be nice to go to a WWII game; but the trip is long... and I dont think my unifrom is up to snuff...

See how you go & do a walk on if ya still feel up to 2 full days.

I doubt if I could hack the NAE though - too old for this $hit

What would you need to get your uniform sorted spaz? I have spare gear.

Nice! who is running the event? UCAP or a third party.

Ah you seem to have ninja'd me buy answering my question before I had even pressed the comment button

My issue is that I have a decent shot-down RAF uniform (RAF Bomber jacket (which it's probably too hot for now), tan pants, genuine pilot's flame-proof flight gloves, and such, but my guns are german...

I have nothing so will have to admire the pictures Could you not argue that if he is shot down, rather then using his sidearm he decided to equip himself with some much better German weapons he 'acquired' while making his way back to friendly lines.

I totally agree, but it depends on how strict the rules of the game are; if you need to ID targets on helmets and guns, then guns are the easier to ID, and I wouldn't want to cause and hassle because of it.

Chances are you would be part of a section anyway so I doubt one odd weapon would matter. But yh rules are rules I guess.

Spaz, it's common to see people using the other sides weapons, you're shot down so likely behind enemy lines right? Just pinched it off Jerry

yeah the gun doesn't matter. Not sure whether RAF uniform would be allowed but no harm in asking. As I plan to wear Khaki drills, I have a set of Denim battledress spare (38 waist 44 chest) and a set of webbing. A helmet would be fairly cheap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITISH-ARMY-WW2-TOMMY-REPLICA-HELMET-WW1-RE-ENACMENT-MILITARY-/231528551435?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item35e82d540b

Only issue is that I will be travelling by train, you may be able to borrow gear on the ww2airsoft forums http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/php/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=274&t=18702

otherwise I end up loaded down with 2 full sets of gear

Actually, if you would be driving from Reading, I could carry a lot more if you gave me a lift from Reading station as I wouldn't have to change trains and navigate the underground through London.

What station would your train come out at in London? If it is Euston then get onto the fast service from St Pancraes then head to gravesend were there are plenty of buses to Bluewater which is the quarry next to sandpit. Euston is a quick walk from Euston to save underground pains.
