Afternoon chaps, I have this nice RAF Tunic that "flew in" over Christmas, nice good standard issue padded wings in cream thread and Kings crown Flt Lt shoulder boards. The tunic itself has the "made in" belt, standard to the RAF pattern tunics. It has absolutely no internal makers marks anywhere, I am inclined to think that this was Theatre made in the Far East or India, but any other thoughts are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Leon.

Hello everyone,

It is that time of the year again that I start searching for stuff from the past in my moving boxes.
Yesterday I found this webbing item.
Can anyone of you gents tell me what this pouch is for?

Greetings from the Netherlands,

An interesting report with some curious photographs showing a Spitfire of the RAF carrying beer kegs under the wings. I’ve never seen this. Can anyone tell what the purpose of it ? To see these curious and unbelievable photos, visit the link below:

I’ve previously put up a photo of some of my SS keyed typewriters in response to someones queries, but thought I’d do a thread of my own.

I have 7 SS keyed type writers, 6 portables (4 with carrying cases) and a desk model. I also have one with a bakelite case that does not have the rune key, but a friend has one exactly like it that does have the SS key. This is a Czech made machine all the others are German.
Here are 3 of them, the wood cased field portable is on the bottom of the photo.
I can’t seem to access all my files since my primary computer is down.
Anyone knows of an SS keyed typewriter for sale let me know.
