Last year i found DIDDLY.....this year i have had loads of WW2 stuff !
I got these from 3 seperate sellers. The smallest is a 2pdr casing dated 43 and cost £2. The next is a 40mm casing dated 42 and cost £1.50. The third is a 25 pdr casing dated 44 and cost £4. The tallest is a 75mm dated 1944 and cost £2.50.
Not bad for a tenner !
Don't think i'll clean them any more though. Don't want them looking 'new' !
As the title says.......what do you guys think this may be ? I found it next to a revetment at an old WW2 airfield. It was at the same depth as other relics i know are WW2 era.
Could it be a piece off an aircraft engine ? Spitfires, Lightnings and Mustangs were all worked on in the revetment.
Or is it just a piece of old tat that needs binning ?
See what you think ! (the close up shot shows one of the nuts and the fact it appears to have a 'lug' on it). The pipe was in place when it was in the ground but soon came away so it may be a red herring !
I'm new to the forum, and I've found it to be most interesting.
I am attaching a picture I took in early 1969. If you look carefully you will see a WW2 German helmet sitting on a pile of gear atop the M-113 ACAV I was a crewman on in Viet Nam. The picture was taken at the beginning of Atlas Wedge, an operation by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment to clear the Michelin Rubber Plantation near Lai Khe. I bought the helmet while I was home on leave between my first and second tours, and wore it around for a few months after I got back over there. It sure raised a few eyebrows among some of the older soldiers!
