Hey Mark, got your PM about the radio canvas and will call you tomorrow about the other things.

It's always been amazing to me Colin, how much junk people put into my vehicles at events and then forget. I've attended reenactments with my airborne jeep and almost always find rifles and webbing that people have dumped off to save carrying it. Then they go home and forget about it until they are packing for the next event and call to see if I might happen to have it. Turns out the torch was a friend's and he ended up camping near us the second day out there.

Have some other shots from the weekend below. Mostly from the small public battle that was hosted on site. Me and the T-16 sat it out since it is pretty much a GI/German thing for the crowd. My older daughter got out there though with my full-auto Sten Mark V and her French Maquis impression.













Then there is my younger daugher wearing an original WWII Despatch Rider's pulp helmet. Who would have thought they made gear like that in such small sizes?



And of course the shot of her proving how hungry she is so I would start cooking the evening chow.
