Default Introduction...

I just wanted to introduce myself to the MLU Forum and as a former Sapper, thought the Sapper's Mess was the most appropriate place...

I've always had an interest in military conflicts (WW2 especially) and blame my Father (natuarally). I joined the British Army at 17, and served 11 years in the Royal Engineers in Close Support, EOD and Armoured Engineer regiments.

My interest in WW2 was rekindled by finding a German Fallschirmjäger helmet (single decal) in Norway (near Dombås) in 1995 on my Novice Ski & Survival Course (Arctic Warfare Training) after passing my All Arms Commando Course earlier in the year.

I like to collect WW2 "special forces" Militaria and have things such as a Welbike, RZ20 parachute & harness (complete), Abwurfbehälter etc...

I do attend the shows in the UK and US (and am thinking of Overloon this year), and am a member of the MVT, MVPA and Kubel Korps.

Warmest regards,

Martin
