Iit has a bit more of that "been there' look

Nicer looking than mine, plus I dont have a case.

I was wondering about the 2 space shuttle crashes also?

Nah, we are missing Al. And as I can't post an answer to the Chairmans welcome in his post, I just want to say, he might live to regret allowing all of us in here cheeky

This coming from a guy with an RK???

The love is there. My friend .

Military version. This was an amphibious version of the venerable 2 1/2 ton or as commonly know the "Deuce and a half"

Sdfkz 81 6x4 Krupp Proetze, which means "Boxer" named after the motor that drove it. It was mainly used early in the war, as an artillery tractor for light A/T and Flak, which probably accounts for why you don't see many. It was driven by a 4-cyl engine and had all around independent suspension. Hope this helps

Is that sort of like the Reserves, or as I think you call them, Territorials?

Check this place out, no helmets but it has some tunics and other related stuff. Priced in US$

www.germanmilitaria.com

It's in Fredricton, New Brunswick, Canada. The proprietor Peter Whamond iis a good guy and honest. I have bought lots from there and never had a problem. I am not sure what the GBP exchange rate to the US$ is, if it's anything like the Cdn$ to the GBP (approx $2.6 to GBP). you guys could get a good deal

Here's afew canadian ones:

PPCLI (Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry)

Please Protect Canada's Little Idoits

Piss Poor Canadians Lacking Intelligence

RCR (Royal Canadian Regiment)

Run Chicken Run

They also go by "Chicken F*ckers". And according to the story, an officer came into the mess for supper, after meal hours and asked for the roast chicken that had been served at supper. There was none left, however he badgered and pulled rank on the staff. So eventually the cook roasted him a chicken with a special sauce in the cavity of the chicken. Hence the handle!

This was my regiment when I was in the regular force, although I have no affinity for having sexual relations with chickens . They also have the distinction of being the oldest serving line regiment in Canada

Thanks Nick

I fiqured that it had something to do along those lines.

You dog

Yes out of approximately 39,000 approximatley 32,000 lost theiir lives. Out of roughly 820 boats 718 did not return. About 5,000 were made POW during the war. Such a high rate of loss in a large and excellently trained body of men in a long drawn out war is probably unique in the history of war. But, faced with overwhelming superiority, they fought stubbornly to the bitter end. Which speaks highly for the leadership of Donitz, and the esprit de corps in hhis service

Looks like it could be about an 8" gun

EEEWWWW Does that mean you are not telling

@ BJOW, as I am a simple colonial what does "Naf" mean, does it mean a "good" thing, or "bad'

I don't have any War badges at the momment, just Trade/Rank Badges

Boy, YOU are good

Is this kind of what you are looking for, Gordon? Ignore the white squiggle, I would re-scan them.

The "with Swords" looks like it was a real beauty before the finish started to go.
