You must have a lot of WWII gear - makes me envious!
Regards ... from your SAFFA mate!
Thanks my fellow Saffrican
ww2 gear: mostly repro
-My wife made the pilot suit from a modern boiler suit: she added all the zips and extra pockets+ new collar
-Only 1 German uniform was used; repro from Singapoer through E-bay (Fliegerbluse, trousers, side cap, officer cap and belt) all actors were separately filmed and put together with composite clip
- Flying helmets are originals...picked them up cheaply from flea market trader who had no idea of value
- Flying goggles I made by modifying modern sunglasses
- Flying boots ankle parts I made from very cheap artificial plastic leather (vinyl)
- All rank insignia and medals made from paper photocopies sticked on cardboard
- Parachute harnass made from used nylon truck loading straps, buckles from plastic property signage board
- Flying gloves: belonged to my grandfather and was his police service riding gloves
- US cap got on E-bay very cheaply
thats about it, all the props!
