I wonder if my cousin David is on the flag he spent his 21st birthday on the Falklands .

[@willrobbo8836]

Do have a list of things that would have gone inside of the 58 pattern webbing in the falklands

[@ModernTacticalShooting]

Luv your channel, il be doing my own 95 PLCE review soon. Learned alot from you.

[@highchamp1]

Look at all that lovely GREEN!

[@peterhughes8934]

Excellent content as usual. It'd be great to see you do a video on Falklands era rations specifically.

[@PaddyInf]

The 'range bag' with the red cross was commonly referred to as the Godfrey Bag, named after the bag carried by Pte Godfrey in Dad's Army. You still saw the odd one floating around some stores into the early 2000s for section medics but no one actually used them by that time.

[@ramseygreen808]

It’s actually a Haversack, Surgical. It’s got no buckles on the bottom and there are pockets sewn into the top for the scissors etc. I was lucky enough to handle and examine it at the same time as Simon did.

[@jcmaxie4758]

Ramsey Green Oops I was wrong........again! Thank you for that. Rare items, which sadly I’ve walked past for next to nothing before now!

[@stevengoodloe3893]

Reminds me of the load we carried in Afghanistan. Nothing light about light infantry.

[@chainsaw2999]

Good to see a very nice falklands war display

[@mgmidgetsandme6647]

Great video as always

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

58 pattern webbing was awesome the only bad thing i can say about 58 pattern is when wet the toggles that close the ammo pouches swells and makes it harder to open and close and of course it gets very heavy

[@davehopkin9502]

The Large Pack with the 58 Pattern was of course a total piece of crap...........

[@thebelfastvikingmartinbrow3603]

@@davehopkin9502 am sure like me and many others you brought your own as quickly as you could lol

[@davidbrennan660]

“ Larry large pack”

[@neilhughes3529]

@Zayne Van Bommel - So except for those two fundamentally crap things (not one), plus a belt that you had to take off the whole kit to adjust (oh yes, it shrank when wet as well as getting heavier), a large pack that was just utterly shit in every way, a pick attachment on the yolk that pierced your spine if you had the pack or a bergan on, and kidney pouches that sagged and flapped and bashed your kidneys when you ran, it was just “awesome”? As an ex infantry soldier who carried it for years, I can confidently say it was shit, unless you spent your own money and personalised the hell out of it - roll pin belt, belt pad, water bottle pouches instead of kidney pouches, para bergan or civvy berghaus bergan, cut the pick attachment off the yolk, etc. etc. All that made it TOLERABLE. The PLCE kit that superseded it was superior in just about every way......so 58 really was not “awesome”.

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

@@neilhughes3529 If you were a half way decent infantry soldier as soon as you were issued your webbing you got your sewing awl and modified it unless you were in a unit that didnt allow their soldiers to do that pmsl but not my problem lol and yes PLCE was miles better but thats the whole point kit evolves

[@andrewcombe8907]

Those Boots, DMS really were a disgrace.

The Airborne Assault Museum is located inside the AirSpace Hangar at Duxford, the Conservation Hangar is Hangar 5 built during the first world war.

[@RiflemanMoore]

Ah, fair dos.

[@zaqpak9391]

Hi Rifleman Moore, any updates on that Home Guard video? Or are there other videos in the works first? Just curious. Great video as usual!

[@zaqpak9391]

Also, when is the next live stream? 😁

[@ryanfrancis638]

Hi, I'm an American looking to do a British Falklands kit, however due to being American I'm having some trouble finding good resources on the correct uniform and P58 webbing to get. Could you possibly make a video or post about what a regular Army infantryman would have carried?

[@l.f.c9973]

Ive always wondered why didnt we use the m69 flak vest that we used in norther ireland

[@campbellbrand8038]

We had enough to carry as it was so bollox to carrying a flak vest as well

[@deldrise9169]

Are there any good online sources about the kit used by British soldiers in the Falklands?

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

That range bag looks like a 37 pattern pack

[@deldrise9169]

Yeah, i'm pretty sure it is which is quite interesting

[@ramseygreen808]

It’s a Haversack, Surgical, not strictly part of the 37 pattern equipment.

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

Ramsey Green no you are incorrect he clearly states that the Red Cross was drawn on and visually it looks to be exactly identical to a large 37 pattern pack so why do you think otherwise ?

[@ramseygreen808]

Zayne Van Bommel - because I handled the pack and inspected it when we did the filming and it’s a Haversack, Surgical. If you look closely you can see the stitch marks in the lid for the scissors and the lack of buckles on the base.

[@zaynevanbommel5983]

@@ramseygreen808 thx for the clarification

[@johnsteele2986]

What sort of smock was worn by 2 and 3 para in the Falklands?

[@l.f.c9973]

Dpm smocks pattern 65 a think

[@moulosify]

68 pattern. But paras were generally wearing the relatively new DPM Arctic windproof, which had started to appear in the late 70s

Who was the sour pizda that gave this video a dislike?
