A loadout too far

I wouldn't be expecting much TBH. As long as it could get through a weekender without giving up the ghost then with the sten, a ticket, transport, food and BB's that's about £235-40 for a WW2 bash = doable / and still have a boss all steel gun to fuck about with... weld a mount on the side of the receiver and fit a PSO-1 scope and a barrel mounted bipod maybe - go the whole hog and slap a crane stock on it too!

helmet £8.50

That would be a basic Jungle green loadout. Use some scraps of green fabric for puttees. Would look better if the shirt and trousers were about 15 sizes too big :)

 
Agreed, it does. Bloody horrible! I've got net though. If I was gonna wear a helmet I'd wear one of my 44 Pattern turtleshells and say i was one of the lads tasked to prove them in combat :lol:

BTW, 1 of 'em is for sale :)

 
Oh shit, not "It ain't half hot Mum"! I remember that from my childhood... Like much of the 70's I had hoped it had faded into the dim and distant!

 
It's a good show. They do the 'army' stuff well the writers were both WW2 vets who were in ENSA (every night something awful) like a lot of that generation of entertainers and a lot of the audience were vets as well so they would always complain like hell about anything too obviously wrong.

 
Jungle Kit is either the same as Desert Kit or the same but dyed green. So you can either wear a 2 pocket shirt tucked in (like the lightweight modern shirt) or a 4 Pocket shirt as a jacket (like in the 'Aint half hot mum' picks), then you can wear shorts or long trousers.

Another easy WW2 loadout would be a khaki boiler suit, black beret and a belt. If anyone asks, you just can't remember where you left your tank.

Belt should ideally be black P37 one.

 
That link just keeps taking me to the top of this page Ian?

 
Not having much luck on the whole Ebay link front tonight Ian, that one says the page has moved or is no longer found :huh:
