Good Day All. A quick question / query based on my interest area: Has anybody built a loudspeaker platform out of a military model? I'd love to see the final product. Does anyone know of such platforms having been sold as such? Kind regards, Drew

Nice....thanks for sharing. DREW

Here is a picture of the gold and silvered pins for the Political Academy I have the gold version but not the silvered type. DREW

G'day Guys....enjoying the thread. Thought I'd add to it by uploading my POLITICAL ACADEMY badges - Ground Forces, Air Force and Navy. In addition I have a gold pin and have seen a silver metal version thereof. Any ideas? DREW

The 15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group is a tri-service group. It is a Territorial Army unit 'managed' by 1 Intelligence Brigade. Here is my collection of official ( and unnofficial) items for this interesting and relatively new unit. Drew

Good Day Guys - HELP!!! Anyone know if JNA Political Officers wore colour specific collar tabs ? Secondly - Any idea what a blue / white / blue collar tab denotes?

G'day from Sydney, Australia: I trust we are all looking forward to Christmas! HELP! I have found 2 insignia distributors / manufacturers / insignia dealers on the net..........and typically don't get any response from emails I have sent to their advertised internet contact email address. This the result I fear of the langauge barrier. Do we have any BRAZILIAN / PORTUGUESE collectors on the fourm who could possibly help me make first contact?........... a 'hello' would be nice!!! Kind regards, DREW CHANEY

Far, far away, in the land 'Down Under' sits a collector equally impressed and at the same time...very JEALOUS.......What a nice find. Thanks for posting Drew

Good Day Guys. Seemingly my increased knowledge when it comes to new items of POLITICAL OFFICER Training / POLITICAL ACADEMY awards etc, has made me aware of newer items on the market. I am enjoying the continued hunt for such items following much help from this forum. I am greatfull. I now know what to look for (seemingly), but I need your help on these 2 items listed. Dealers are eager to indicate these 2 items as being of POLITICAL Training value......are they correct? They do not fit the information I have at hand. So I am seeking confirmation and a correct designation. Can you help? Gratefully yours - DREW

Johnsy - Any chance of getting hold of such ? Drew
