Looks like you and me will be bidding on the same items from now on Mate.
As before I whack down huge bids ,this seems to work..not sure for how long though!!!!!
Sure was but your budget is higher than mine Gary
Sorry again Mate, If I decide to move it on one day,seriously it's your's Mate
Since I gave up hookers, booze and coke, my budget has got slightly healthier
Its bound to happen so no hard feelings,for now anyway

What action were you filming ? I've never seen a windproof worn by an airborne brother in WW2 - or after for that matter.
And when will it be on TV ?
Is the badge Irish Rangers ? It's difficult to make it out. I didn't know they were airborne roled.
Oh, your beret looks far to modern. Too small and too low over the eyes. Back in the day they had dinner plates that would make the French Chassuers Alpin berets look small

Just a small film, mainly just a laugh. I portrayed an Infantry Depot Instructor, however the Airborne did have the Windproof, they werent very common or popular as the Denison was issued in large amounts. The badge is the Ulster Rifles (1 RUR were Airlanding) and the beret is a WWII Repro one with labelled and dated liner, they're not great though.

Good enough for larking around Tommo 
As is mentioned elsewhere around this forum, there is a real danger of some people doing 'serious' living history (for movies or documentaries) that is not historically accurate and yet those inaccuracies become accepted as the norm for the original period.
For example, I've NEVER seen a photos of SAS or LRDG using the sand smocks in Africa - only Greece and Italy and then only really SBS or the short-lived SRS (there are one or two exceptions mind....) and yet every LRDG reenactor seems to be wearing one .....
And nice to see someone NOT doing Para Regt or Ox & Bucks or SAS I never knew 1 RUR were airlanding. Every day's a schoolday !

Cheers mate, I have some of the stick from the Kit Police before, over some converted Bren Pouches I used for Private Battling, they are 1940 dated yet people can't understand why I wear them to Private Battles, everything has to be accurate!!! which kind of makes them hypocrites too!
And its great not to Para, RSigs and 1 RUR are what I portray, infact in the group I'm with I think they're are only a few Paras the rest are support arms.
