'cos it's a Dutch shirt zomg?

I believe it's a PARA SAS SBS SA80 RECCE ARMY MARINE, according to eBay.

You look simply fabulous, dahlink.

I don't like M4's, but I like that. Funny, eh?

I really like that It's got that old-school feel, and you don't see Woodland pattern all that much any more. It reminds me of a DPM armour carrier I'd very much like to own http://www.tactical-gear.co.uk/pictures/va...cts_06/3092.JPG

I still don't know about the P226. My pants say 'Go!', but my head says 'No'. Still, a saucy weapon

Do we win a prize for spotting the deliberate odd-pouch-out?

That is so mil-sim, dude. I'll have to rustle up a proper SAS loadout when I get back home. Where did I put that Viper SAAV?

It's the worst vest there by a country mile. So naturally, it's the issue one

Thought I might as well take a photo of the girls

No period loadout is complete without a colour history of said period Imagine the tactical advantage you'd have!

I'll post here, because all the geardoes hang around here (waves walking stick at them). I swear I've seen some people attach a QR buckle to their lids, so that they can hang them off their belt. I plan to do the same with my Mk6, and just wanted to see how/if it can be done

Oh dear. I don't know what I missed here, but I don't think this the time to find out... I assume it's something to do with Team SNAFU stealing Blarney's flashbulb? I like these olive flight suits. You see them going quite cheaply in British surplus stores, but I don't know if our versions are heavier/less tactical than the Yankee ones everyone wears. They have map pockets on, for example

I've not heard that brand before, who sells it?

Bargain It does look like a Bowman headset though, I see what you mean. /bins Bowman headset

Unless it says 'Dry Clean Only', I should think it'll take a washing Cobra headset you say? How much and where from? I must say, I do find the strap-method of headset rather awful. It wobbles all over the place, and the straps slip down a lot. I'd rather have rigid arrangement, like ComTacs or something

What brand do you smoke?

You should smell the headstrap on my Bowman. It's like 3-day old underwear.

Eddie182 (and Ronan Keating, apparently): I've also got some candid snaps of Steve Pearson on here. Oh yes, celebrity DPM stalker am I (shall I blur for PERSEC?)

I suspect you have more than 2 pillows and some cushions in your bergen though.

Haha, I noticed that today on Defence Images: And I thought "That's the one I just bought...". Bergen? Arktis Patrol ruck. Gimpy hat? Yeah I know. Do you mean pinch the front down and shorten the brim? That'd look good on the other one I have.

How so? I've got about £2.30 on me atm. Careful, your wish might be granted.

I've seen a few pictures of them sprayed up, but it's normally in desert schemes, so most people probably wouldn't want to. It has green furniture anyways, so it's already a little bit ahead of most rifles

A proper sesh in the desert, with the new vest, patrol pack, ICE's etc.
