John_W Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 The "Officer" appears to be wearing 37 pattern webbing, innapropriate for the vehicle/period. Should be 58, or at least 44 pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends, it might have been his for a while and he does not want to change it. Basically those guys could and still do to a great extent pick there own kit. When my Dad joined the Army in the 60's he was first issued WWII webbing! That is a great looking diorama Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great looking diorama Julien The "Pink Panther" Landrover was commissioned in 1968 for the use of the SAS. "Them" have always recieved first dibs on the best kit so would have had 58 patern... The crewmen should be wearing Regiment berets which are sand coloured, or even shemags. Also they are wearing 37 pattern holsters, designed for the Webley revolver and later used for the Enfield. In 1968, Browning GP35s would have been standard. Not sure Special Forces would have worn putees either. Wing mirrors would probably have been removed or covered to prevent glint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
