Hi Guys, although this dates from 1961 plenty of wartime kit is shown:

Yes there is a lot of ww-2 stuff to look at like the altered windproof smock with full length zipper that you could find occasionally on the web described as untouched original specimen Thank you very much for showing the link Ade

Also note the "printed" Pegasus still being made and issued. That is NOT old stock. Several Para Regt vets of the 1950's confirm this in their photos. So not all those printed pegasus you see are actually wartime !
