but dont you think that the public who pay good money to get into these shows to see the wagons would like to see every thing as it should be ,includeing period uniform, or is this crossing into the living history side of things?
when i go to shows either as joe public or when we display i like to see as it would of been used,ie if your driving around in a ww2 tank then wear the kit that goes with it, no ones going to think just because your wearing uniform that you must of served.dont think many people care do they?
however it is peoples own choice to wear what they want at these events, uniform just adds to the effect.
as for people just going to the events for there own benift, not saying this is any one one here but seen a few where you approach the wagon the ownwers are all sat around the wagon, drinking booze and have no interest in the public, which aint good.
ive served in the forces and to be fair i couldnt care less if some one who hasnt served wears the uniform, BUT please if you do wear it right:D
