Hey guys

I recently cleaned up a house In Northern France (area of Hondschoote). One of the items I found is this grouping of a canvas sheet and leather sheets.

I'm certain that those items are related.

The canvas sheet is approximately 2.5 on 3 metres. It's water resistant (like the ponchos), and quite heavy. It's marked BMB Ltd 1939 W/|\D FRONT.

Some parts of this canvas sheet are in green leather. The same leather as the leather sheets...

The leather sheets (2 pieces) are in green leather. On the back of 1 of them I can read Connolly London (On internet I read they made also seats for spitfires). On one of the leather sheets There is a back in canvas with a kind of pouch (map case??) in it.

So i'm certain that the large canvas sheet is functionally related with the leather sheets.

Is there somebody who recognizes this? or could give his opinion on this items.

Hello

I'm a ww2 collector, especially the 1940 campaign. I'm interested in the BEF part, Belgian campaign and France campaign...

I live near Dunkirk and sometimes I find some genuine ww2 items on attics, caves, farms,... Some items are difficult to identify. Especially the vehicle related items. I found some that I will post in the pre-war section.

I already have a nice collection, but I continue searching items that I save from garbage dump.

Thanx for helping me out with the identification of some items.

I'm also happy to help other people.

Greetz
