The movie is available quite easily on Amazon or ebay on DVD. Just got my copy! Brilliant for reference but not acting as stated.

I used to service an old Avelin Barford Loading Shovel that had a built in easy start system the same. That just had a replaceable pressurised aerosol bottle. We used to be able to buy the seperate bottles. Have you a picture of the charging nozzle on your tank? I may be able to identify it for you.

Yeah, very good for me...just wish it was old spec deac! First place I went to mate to check current prices. Already showed the missus for a Christmas idea, she said " what you want another one of those for? How many bloody guns did they go into battle with...??" I replied..."well there's Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday....etc....!" Fell on blank expressions!

My BD pads out nicely my friend...what you trying to say?? Sounds like your saying I'm a big bugger with child bearing hips....!!! Lol

"Hurt foot...!" Panzers revenge! AXIS 1 ALLIES 0

Yeah, first place I go to normally is WW Arms, . They tend to be cheapest around. All my old deals come from t here years ago, but prices shooting up! (Excuse pun!) I am looking round for a private seller, . Best chance of getting an old deac I think

That's why I'm holding onto mine, . Just looking into a MK V to finish my para setup! Buy plans from states if need be n build my own.....! Lol (no, won't really,so don't anyone give the lecture!)

If that's the case anyone got an old one sitting round collecting dust....? Lol I've seen old deals going for about £700-800. I've got an old spec (pre 96) MK2 which I can fully strip except the barrel of course. What are the new deacs like compared? A friend has a deac MK2 which is useless, can't even cock it! Nothing like that I hope!

Looking for a MK V Sten for my WW2 para re enactment. Prefere old spec deac, . Any pointers or what have you. Many thanks

Hmmm, I would be worried about a knock on the door from boys in blue mate!

Don't forget the build pics and step by step account of this project, very interesting. Good luck my friend :goodidea:

Welcome to the green asylum friend. Man after my own heart, WW2 Arnhem para, same as me! Just after a drop bag now and got my eye on a para training jump harness!

Isn't there a metal and wood copy out there being made with dummy rounds too? I was looking a while ago for my ww2 para display!

I got a fair bit of stuff as original para kit is expensive. I asked for a package deal and wasn't a problem for them inc free post they also sewed all my insignia onto my BD for me, saves a job! glad it worked out and you happy, good luck. You brave enough to post pics of yourself in full kit?

Yes, Thank You darling, but don't call me DEAR in front of the rest of forum as they get jealous...!! X. Lol

NO.....ME....!!! Lol Happy birthday Rosie Happy birthday Hoseman

I just got my para gear from SOF and can't fault it! Good copies and all fits! Got my boots, jump trousers, BD blouse , helmet and beret. I ordered the insignia for the blouse and they stitched it on for me without asking!! Ask for Alan, I got a discount caus I asked and bought it as a package. Threw in my helmet net n few bits n Bob's too!

I have both movies already and its none of them! I actually watched 'Theirs Is The Glory' last week. Don't worry, I have been trying for over 30 years now, I don't hold out much luck! Maybe I dreamt it all, but it's a hell of a good idea for a movie then!!! Lol

Welcome to the Green asylum friend. Any problems just ask, we are a friendly-ish bunch with a fountain of knowledge at times! And if we cant baffle you with brains then we will puzzle you with bull****!! Most dont bite, but a few have been known to nibble a bit...!:cool2:

Also it could have been a TV only movie and we may never know! Just wish I could get a lead on it and get to watch it now after 30 odd years! I may also be way out on the title but it's the only thing that sticks in the grey matter, maybe I have just convinced myself that's what it's called!

You sure, it's been doing my head in for 30 odd years!! I'm sure it just concentrated on the hotel but then again I was just in my teens! I need to grab a copy n watch. Wasn't the longest day American and how THEY won the war? This was defiantly British mate

Nope, that's the one I keep finding too, . Not that! It's based solely at the Hartenstein hotel!!

Just wondering if the great mass mind of HMVF could help me identify a film I remember in about the early 80's. I'm guessing it was a TV MOVIE as I can't seem to find it anywhere! It was based at the Hartenstein Hotel an shows the fighting that went on in and around the area. Wasn't a documentary an I have never seen or heared of it since. I have been trying to find this for years now! I think it was called FRIEND OR FOE, but could be a lot wrong! I remember the use of 'cricket' clickers and being mistaken for German rifle bolt actions! Please put me out of my misery (and sanity) and let me know I never dreamt it all!! Any info greatly appreciated an where I could find a copy Thanks in advance

bloody hell gents, excellent work there AS USUAL I may add!!! That wheel looks good enough to use as is...!! LOL One of my favourite threads and try not to miss an episode! ............Shes got Corrie....I got Thornie!!!

Will remember that for the next bar fight at the 40`s dances!!!:cool2: I will be the idiot shouting "Right, ive been told....Me against you five NOW!!!" Please send my cards and flowers of condonence to......!!!:-X
