                We had some very hot weather here in the east today so it was out to the 1940's week end. These people dress up for a hobby they spend a lot of money on their kit. I know a mate sold some para kit to one guy and authenticity is a must. I for one having had to wear the Queens uniform I don't really want to dress up any more so I spent the day observing. The radio sets are of interest being an ex signaller any one familiar with them please let me know. Any complaints, I don't get paid for my videos its just a hobby
