BGS 20 year anniversary film

[Collectinsteve]

I don't know if any of you have seen this or not, but it's very good:

Contains lots and lots and lots of shots of uniforms, equipment, armored cars, ships, helicopters, etc. Some good shots of uniform details, including some BGS See and a quick look at a helicopter pilot's uniform.

This helps date the change of badging on the arm from shield only to arc and shield combination. I thought the transition happened around 1970/71, but it seems it was 1971/72 or perhaps a little later.

Enjoy the soundtrack as well

Steve,

Some interesting uniform shots. The large sized (hard hat type) berets worn by the armoured guys at 14+ minutes and the guy with the cuff title on the left arm at about the 22nd minute. Love to have still shots of these!

Regards,

Gordon

Thanks for this movie!
It is from the year of my birth - 1971 - and filmed in my home town Luebeck - great!
