I found this at the show I went to this weekend, the seller said his Aunt was a nurse in Europe during the war and this was one of the things given to her. Pretty neat picture that shows the scale of the airborne drops.

Hi Grimmy, these are great!
I really like the stripped down Matchless G3L Motorbike. Sherman "Firefly's" are always a fave with me too.
Thanks for sharing them with us.
Cheers, Ade.
