SimonLMoore Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Just sharing some photos of my Royal Navy collection at various displays I've put on along with others up and down the country. Couple of errors here and there with the uniforms but by and large put right now. Edited September 7, 2014 by SimonLMoore
Odulf Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Nice kit lay out, I particularly like the Royal Yacht hat and jumper, with the badges in white!
Mervyn Mitton Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Impressive collection, Simon. Must be a lot of work carrying it all around and then having to set-up. Ask in some of the Department Stores to see if they have old display dummies you could buy. They would make it easier and catch the public attention. Mervyn Odulf - like your new Avatar - as they say in the comedies - Hello Sailor !
SimonLMoore Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks Odulf! Mervyn, for the moment all my travel is by train! Mannequins or dummies are definitely on the agenda for the future when I have a car. For the moment I use inflatable torso mannequins, as per the Royal Yacht uniform which work quite well.
Jerry B Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Excelent displays Simon. What is the helmet next to the white top visor, a tankers lid? Any chance of some detail pics of the headgear?

Any chance of some detail pics of the headgear? Sure thing once I have a working camera again! It is indeed a tankie's helmet, they were used by the RN from the '40s through the '80s early '90s.

I knew the RN used them as did the Marines I think and by ground troops in NI in the 70's.
paul kennedy Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Fantastic display. I does look like a lot of work, but definitely a labor of love.
Michael R Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Hi, I have just stumbled onto your thread but unfortunately, the photos are not showing. Any chance of you re submitting this thread??? It sounds very interesting to me as a RN collector!!! Cheers Michael R
DaNang1966 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 @ Michael R - I noticed that you are a RN collector. What period do you focus on? I collect WWII uniforms and have quite a large collection.
