Snapper Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I've got an Indiana Jones hat and I look more like Gerald Ford than Harrison. Or even Old Ford, where the no 8 Routemaster used to go. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Cubed Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 :rofl::rofl:the thing is - I know how he feels Went out in public in my kit, for the first time today, good movement of arms and comfy tooo. The local Village had a 40's Day in the square, there was a Weapons Carrier, several Jeeps and my truck had a great time, a bit cold and a bit wet but there you go just like last year, hoping it will get hotter and dryer for The Plains.......:confused: We went to come home jumped in the truck hit the starter and nothing **** ******** **** ****,,,,, had a search about no problems found so had to be the starter, got the chap in the Weapons Carrier to tow me up hill as well and once on the flat got up a bit of speed and 2nd gear droped the clutch and away we went.

antarmike Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I do not own a Military vehicle, But I own several EX military vehicles.. and that is what they are, they have spent their time in service and now they belong to me. I am a civilian, and I own them as a civilian. Why should I dress any different if I drive them to a show or my LDV Van to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Elsdon Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just recently got hold of a new set of British army FV Coveralls with loads of pockets, in olive green with big brass zips, like a posh boiler suit, and some brand new (well not worn at least!) DMS boots, lovely stuff and not to scary to joe public! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 One of my favourites is a Belgian tank suit, great for open vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I am contracted to wear HMVF Super Moderator's dress uniform on all occasions. The Tricorn hat gets in the way of my sunglasses when I'm getting in and out of the Iltis. The cavalry boots are a bugger to keep clean and why oh why Jack chose banana yellow for the tunic I do not know. The codpiece doesn't fit either.

abn deuce Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 It sounds like you need to visit a proper uniform maker and get things refitted people expect you to be professional in dress and manner at all times. You can't do that if every moment your adjusting this or that or tripping over those long coat tails . And just for the record I feel the choice of long evening gloves of Deep Bronze Green pillar box red and Gold just ruin the effect of the rest of the uniform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 You can rest your case where you like. Oi Pete, when did you see my gloves??? Must have been a Leopard Lodge beano. I know a budding author who's still waiting to hear about your GMC - he's a funny b'stard. As for you Mr Banner. I've never worn camoknickers in my life. Strictly M&S, me - or sometimes Tescos. Every little helps. Pass the sauce. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
