Hi Jon and all

When ive taken my Jeep to living history events I have usually worn my set of BD for the drive there, and for the duration of the event im in uniform. Im badged correctly for the RHLI during WW2. Last summer I went to a number of cruise nights around town. I just wore civies as i didn't feel that it was a proper venue for wearing a uniform. The first time I showed up at the local cruise night the guy at the gate searced my Jeep and asked if I had any weapons. Told me they had a guy in the past bring all sorts of machine guns and caused them some problems.

I feel that if going to, say and airshow where there will be other MV's in attendance you should make some effort to be in uniform or in coveralls that look period correct. I personaly hate seeing a whole bunch of MV's lined up with their owners standing around in t shirts and shorts, If you can afford to restore an MV then you can afford to buy a uniform or coveralls to look the part with the veh.


Jon, I think its great that you want to put on the uniform that goes with the Jeep, go for it.
