  1. I don't think I've even bothered to check mine. I just presumed fifties. I bought it at Tilbury Fort a million years ago.
  2. James and I arrive Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing you. Safe journey over my friend.
  3. Irony, mate, irony. I thought I looked like a sack of sh1t. Stress.
  4. The army are going over to MAN for pretty much everything..... maybe you saw a foreign contingent in the UK for SPTA fun???? Dunno. Some wrecker Fodens still in service I think.
  5. Interesting idea. Would he get himself and his huge head of hair in it?
  6. The Couldsdon Sage instructs.... good call.
  7. Get you.... Leave it round East Peckham for that long and they'll slap a preservation order on it.
  8. I have one with the mix of shell and liner,too. Interesting to note the archive where I earn my daily crust has pix of this helmet - the MkIII -being unveiled to the press in 1941. It wasn't issued until '44 for the classic reason they were making so many of the MkII ('Tommy') pattern and also it's similarity to those of other beligerents. Yap yap yap.
  9. Don't ask....but I have been provided with a weather report from the Senior Service - God bless 'em.... Rainy, sunny, patchy until Monday 19th. Dry and increasingly hotter from Tuesday 20th until the following week. High likelihood of cases of dehydration in hot temperatures. Make of it what you will...... camelbak anyone?
  10. Not to my knowledge. I think there was something like it one year - but the charges were high, IMS. I might be dreaming it. I'll ask later on when I meet the Politburo. M
  11. I'll be down there later for a quick visit - so keep your big ends up...
  12. James and I had a ride a couple of years ago and it was a hoot.
  13. COTAT CLOSE OBSERVATION OPERATOR Can anyone with yer actual knowledge tell me what role this is please and what the job entails. Ta M
  14. Be down to see you late Thurs afternoon, early evening - got to do the usual H & S meeting but I won't put my tent up this time....don't want Ian flogging it on eBay again (did it get into double figures of pence?) and showing me a bag of broken poles.... :nut: Either that or another storm..... please no...I don't know how strong a Jacktent would be.:wow: MB
  15. There's a new HMVF t-shirt slogan right there.
  16. Good. Haven't seen you for ages, young man. M
  17. OOh! Lucky Jim! :nut:
  18. Not if you're only there on Saturday, plonker.
  19. No slacking...we leave that to Jack.
  20. Think of him as a 6ft 2" HB pencil.
  21. I've seen the sun flashing off your teeth in A & E photos.... It's like an old Colgate advert...
