Great thread Christina !! As for the uniforms i know for a fact that the Museum has store rooms full of original kit both British and German including some very choice pieces from the old Airborne Forces Museum in the Shot but i believe that the knowledge of the Staff on what is original and what isn't is unfortunately not very good although they have recently been calling in some experts to help them out !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Thank you Paul.
I have alot more photos to upload, but for some reason the system won´t let me. I liked the SAS/paratrooper exhibition, it was very interesting, also the paradog was a sweetie.
