    Yep serves me right for not paying attention.:embarrassed:

    Surely there must be some UK suppliers who have the kit you desire? Then you can phone them and ask about sizes.

    The beret you have can't be a current issue one then. Take a look at the pic below and you'll get an idea of the stitched area I mentioned before. The staybrite badges are not to bad at staying put, but they do slip out from time to time. Berets aren't worn for today's current Operations (unless your swanning in Camp Bastion):cool2: For the beret you have I'd just stick it in hot/cold water wack it on your head and shape it, once happy cut a slot into it in the appropriate place and stick your badge in. You could always add a little stitch to hold the badge in place.

    Yep make sense, a lot of Royal Marine kit was also painted in this pattern, a short supply of desert paint early on in the deployment I heard. Also in Afghan the Royals and Para's liked to paint their vehicles in a similar fashion.

    If it's a new beret it will have an obvious stitched rectangle on the front which you need to carefully cut a small slot, into which the beret badge slots quite nicely. Alternatively if the badge has the 2 hoops and pin type fastener then you will have to carefully cut 2 holes into the obvious place on the beret then slot the badge into the beret and slide the pin into the holes from the inside. Hope this helps.

    I wear it because it's my work gear, the MoD make me.:cool2: Also I have to say that if I was going to a Military show with military vehicle displays then I would want to see the crews to dressed in military uniforms, it adds to the authenicity of the event.

    And if money really wasn't an issue then I would have my own cross country circuit out the back so I could go an play.:-D Ask me in 20 years and my answer will be a CRARRV.

    What you really need is a REME jobcard gasket.

    Yes, 2.5 across the tracks exactly 2.97 overall. I still think the biggest issue is lashing it down. Not something I think you'd get away with on UK roads.

    Leyland Drops Width = 2.50m Foden Drops Width = 2.90m Width of 430 series = 2.97m 432 to wide to be carried on Drops. Max weight flatrack laden = 15 Tonnes combined with load. Max weight 432 unladen = 13.60 Tonnes. (not Bulldog) Flatrack plus 432 = overweight Drops. However if I was getting shot at, get the bloody thing loaded and crack on.
  19. recymech66
    Ouch.
  20. recymech66
    This one's a bit poorly.
  21. recymech66
    Yes 430 Series is to big for the flatrack so can't be secured safely.

    Should be seen at a unit near you in the next 15 years.
