The subject of German helmets is fraught with refurbed, repainted, relined and generally fake helmets.

The black one with the Swastika decal is completely repainted with fake decals applied in my opinion.

The SS helm mmmmmm ! aluminium was used during and post war and i have a nagging thought that those decals only ( i could be wrong !) only appeared on Transitional helmets ...WW1 shells

Those with combes were fire helmets and were lightweight with a crude M34 liner never issued to be used by the Wehrmacht.

Sorry just my take on what i see........  😞

very nice work 👍

An old friend of mine was cleaning/oiling his F&S fighting knife, door bell rang constantly, got up to answer it, returned sat on sofa knife blade went through thigh flesh (it had fallen between cushions) luckily no major veins severed 😫.

Certainly a nice looking truck ..... 👍

well the pictured is titled Swiss roller, the chap on the left is smoking a very Germanic looking  pipe 🙄 can you not get a clearer scan of the picture to be able to read the plate on the cab ?

Hi Pete,

Learning something new every day. Slightly off topic but the FANYs were referenced in an episode of 'Then Churchill Said To Me'. Being a Frankie Howerd type of thing I assumed it was a made up name for comedic value of the episode. Obviously not.

Fany =Female Army Nursing Yeomanry

found on another site

Here is a picture of similar trailers (Canadian) though no date to picture, but the ones pictured earlier are the same as used by the council in the seventies 🙂 

Hi,

A  matador with 5.5 inch gun and a quad with a limber and 23pdr gun regularly attend the veterans show at Weymouth, just need consideration when parking the units up whilst out and about ! 😁
