Hi Iam new to the forum, I have been watching from afar and decided to take the leep and register...
A bit of background to me...I have been collecting camo for a good number of years and to be honest about 2 years ago I sold nearly all my kit as I thought there was only me out there who collected it!!!! It wasnt until I looked on ebay and saw the Desert Para smock...which I thought, very nice I didnt know they did a Para smock in Desert DPM...I did some digging and found this forum but also the OEF/OIF (i have registered also)...Cant believe there a fellow people like me who is obsessed if thats the correct word with British issued items...
I was in the Air Cadets for a number of years and then went into the TA, I tried to enlist in the early nineties but after the Gulf War 1, manning numbers etc were cut back so I never got in!! :@(
In terms of kit, I will have to start posting some pictures...I have a small collection to probably some of you guys, its all British but there are some bits which are American...
My pride and joy is my PECOC kit, I have Hybrid webbing, various patterns of Battle Bags (Hybrid, Tan, MTP etc), PECOC Windproof Smock (woodland), Two sets of PECOC shirts and trousers (woodland)and a brand new PECOC Buffalo Shirt (OG) !! The other parts of my collection are quite varied from a number of Falklands Parka's (I have very bright issued garment which is cool), to various Aircrew windproofs, multiple Para/Windproof (New & Old style)smocks, Black Ripstop Field Jackets, Woodland DPM Tank Suit, DPM Salopettes to name a few !! I could go on but I dont want to bore you all !!
The one thing I hope you can help with, I am keen to expand my collection on British Issue Tan pieces, I only have a couple of items if that and i think they are awesome !! I have seen a set of Tan webbing on the this forum and desperate to obtain a set....if anybody could help and point me in the right direction that would be great !!!
I had to laugh at one of the earlier posts about sneaking bits into the house without the wife seeing...yep I have been doing it for years!!! If my wife ever gets to see my collection I think she may actually kill me !!! Erm had better go and now hide the MTP 95 smock just purchased in case the wife sees it and plays hell !!!
