thank you boxhead . i am pleased with how it the display looks ive heard so many stories on what they were actually wearing on the day but as you know most of the pictures that were realeased were re-enactments

You can get a pretty good idea of the clothing from the actual footage on the day, especially where John Macalees(RIP) plants the frame charge, an iconic image of the start of the operation

thanks dave ,r.i.p mac a true hero

**boxhead8164** · 09-09-2011, 06:13 PM

Your right col james with the re-enactments which was carried out for the sole purpose of the media 6 weeks later.And davejb yes the footage of the seige is a true picture and vid but items of kit are not to distinguished or clear unless you know what your looking for.I will try to post some pics of some of my kits once i have figured out how to organise which ones to post,cheers Dave
