Did someone mention tents?



We've bought a few repro wall tents off Jack and they're very good. You could always button 12 Zeltbahn's together and create a giant Wig-wam like I did at Kirby Hall a few years back!

12? Thats for babies, 16 is the norm nowadays. Some lunatics even try 24, original.

The seller have set a 549£ pricetag on the tent.

How much more British do you want? Empire, India, cotton, the Raj, gin and tonic, displaced peoples working for their families at home. 1/3 of the map was pink. like our gin. It's as British as sandals worn with woolen socks, as skinny knees showing beneath over baggy shorts, as....did I mention gin?

Thats why i like curry!

Food of the Empire! My maternal grandfather was a soldier of the empire! Egypt and India in the 20's and 30's I have his paperwork, he is described as clean honest and sober, a fine gentlemans gentleman!...

Mmm tents, I have one from the same run as Paul' keith etc etc.... be prepared for everyone to want to store their kit in yours tho!!!!

With a massive thank you to Manny, Dave Lapworth and Dave Page. Dave P has been a massive help in getting these tents made. Dave has been kind enough to lend his support and his collection to enable us to bring these to the market.
We are having a batch made for us and it will be a limited run this time around as we need to ensure that we have them in stock before this years D-Day celebrations.

The first batch will be on a preorder basis only. With the feedback from shows, calls and folks on our mailing list these are going to go very very quick. So if you would like to reserve one in time for the show season then please buy one through the shop or call us.

The Pathfinder Große stabszelt will soon be with us and the picture you see is of the first sample. We have spent many many months on this tent and we are so pleased to be able to bring a tent to the German element of our hobby - you no longer have to make do. We will have a sample here in around 14 days so you are more than welcome to drop in and have a look for yourself - don't forget the biscuits.

I have an original Gebirgs medical tent which would be slightly more practical as the walls are higher. Ground area is the same though.
