Default Memory restored

Hi Guys

Last night I stirred up the old the old grey matter and finally remembered where I had seen the photo of a section of Marsden Matting on an LRDG Jeep as part of their kit. It was not a LRDG photo, but in a movie called "Play Dirty". starring Michael Caine as a stiff upper lip British Army Captain sent on an LRDG mission behind German lines.

I thought it a good movie showing lots of LRDG trucks and Jeeps scenes. That now clears up where I had seen the Marsden Matting on a Jeep, So I am wrong to assume that officially it was part of the LRDG Jeep Kit. I think "Lang" put it correctly when he said one could be accused of "Gilding the Lily" when setting up their own restoration kit.

Cheers

Tony
