More 68 Pattern kit.

Hi Guys.

68 pattern appears to be making a resurgence, maybe Falklands 30th and all, either way I thought I would show you all some more of mine, this set came from the same sqauddie, but look's like it was never worn in battle,unless of course he was REMF

I missed this post! Great P68 kit, Gary! The classics are always good to see.

Used to be quite hard to come by but the damn stuff is everywhere now!!!!!

Still love it though.

Thanks Ben

And the trousers have own unique printing flaw too, the black is out of register !

Finally someone recognises how cool these things are.

This flaw is uncommon in DPM but common in early 68's. My 4 part desert camo helmet has the same black(deep brown in desert camo) register error.

It's enough for you to look at the uniform twice when you see it cos it don't look British.

Thought Paras look down on cr*p hats?

Guys, let's please keep it civil and not get into a row over what one regiment thinks of another.

I know that Gary meant his comment purely in jest, and never meant it to offend anyone. I don't want to have to lock the thread, but I will if this continues.

If what continues?

Quoting photos that are already posted in the same thread ??? If not, bloody well should be !!

To be fair to Cairy, long flowery prose is not something Para Regt are notedly famous for ! And I have said the same thing about folk being disrespectful of Support Arms myself - only in less direct and emotive language.

"they also serve who stand and wait". Or, no bullets , food , transport and water, no bloodthirsty warriors !

Is it freckling time ?

Thanks for the support Ben, good job you know me better than anyone else, for other members benefit, I have a twisted sense of humour.

And for the record I have the greatest respect for REMF ,and bloody proud of it,in fact I was always under the impression it was the done thing to have a pop at other sqauddies, never bothered me at the time, and still doesn't!!

But if this terminology is offensive I will of course stop using this phraseology.

gary i have to say sorry for spouting off the mouth , i had just been to a memorial service for the service men we lost down south and was a bit up tight . no offence. steve

Absolutely no problem at all Steve, very understandable under the circumstances, I think to be fair sometimes I am guilty of forgetting the sacrifices made by our troops, which I should not.

Sorry for any offence Mate, no worries, let's move on
